There Was an Old Lady
There was an old lady
Whose kitchen was bare,
So she woke up the cat
Saying, "Time for some air!"
She sent him to buy her
A can of sardines.
But the cat ambled back
With a bagful of beans.
She sent him to buy her
A packet of cheese.
But the cat reappeared
With a carton of bees.
She sent him to buy her
A brisket of beef.
But the cat hurried home
With an Indian chief.
She sent him to buy her
A dish of ice cream.
But the cat skated in
With a whole hockey team.
She sent him to buy her
A plate of spaghetti.
But the cat strutted up
With a bride and confetti.
She sent him to buy her
A thermos of tea.
But the cat waddled back
With a dinosaur's knee.
The fridge was soon bulging,
And so was the shelf.
So she phoned for a hot dog
And fetched it herself.
