"There was an old woman who lived in a shoe,
She had so many children she didn't know what to do;
She gave them some broth without any bread,
She whipped them all well and put them to bed."
Do you know the "The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe" rhyme? There are several neat illustrations for this famous rhyme. This site is from Rutgers University. It actually focuses on the "Mother Goose" stories from various aspects.
