THERE WAS AN OLD WOMAN

You might like this alternative nursery rhyme to teach your children:

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe;
She loved all her children, not only a few.
She kissed them, and hugged them
And tucked them in bed,
“I love you my darlings” was the last thing she said.
Then up came the sun, with a kiss they’d awake
And taste all the goodies their mama had baked.
They’d pray, they’d clean, they’d work they’d play.
It made little ones grow in the wholesomest way.
