What will your mother and father do?

Said to a child whose shoes are muddy

What goes all day and sits in a corner at night?

A shoe

Tap-a-tap shoe, that would I do,

If I had a little more leather.

We’ll sit in the sun till the leather doth come,

Then we’ll tap them both together.

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.

She had so many children, she didn’t know what to do.
