Sorry for the randomness.. just something thats on my mind.
I saw a book of the rhyme on sale in a bookstore pamphlet & It got me thinking about it.
There was an old lady who swallowed a fly
I don't know why she swallowed a fly - perhaps she'll die!

That wriggled and wiggled and jiggled inside her;
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!
There was an old lady who swallowed a bird;
How absurd to swallow a bird.
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!
There was an old lady who swallowed a cat;
Fancy that to swallow a cat!
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,

I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!
There was an old lady that swallowed a dog;
What a hog, to swallow a dog;
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!
There was an old lady who swallowed a cow,
I don't know how she swallowed a cow;
She swallowed the cow to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,

She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!

She's dead, of course!
I remember my gran saying it to me a lot when i was younger.

Can be rhymes, stories, whatevs. | Yes, during my studies of literature I discovered that most 'fairy tales' were very morbid to begin with. Full of death, dismemberment and distruction. It seems most fairy tales of English descent were mostly of sick and ill-conceived endings. They were changed to pamper and please the displaced children of the world to the states of America as their fathers went off to war.
Fascinating... isn't it?
