"There was an old woman who lived in a shoe,
She had so many children she didn't know what to do.

And whipped them all soundly and sent them to bed."

"Little General Monk
Sat upon a trunk
Eating a crust of bread;

And burnt into his clothes a hole,
Now little General Monk is dead.
Keep always from the fire,
If it catch your attire
You too, like General Monk, will be dead."

Eats his mother's mustard."
