Doctor Foster Went to Gloucester

Doctor Foster went to Gloucester
In a shower of rain,
He stepped in a puddle,
Right up to his middle,
And never went there again.

Doctor Foster Went to Gloucester - Mama Lisa's House of English Nursery Rhymes, Comment Image

 
 
Gloucester is pronounced as "gloster" and rhymes with Foster. The Real Mother Goose (published in 1916 and illustrated by Blanche Fisher Wright) spells it as "Glo'ster" in their version.
The 1st illustration is from The Real Mother Goose (1916) illustrated by Blanche Fisher Wright.

The 2nd illustration is from The Big Book of Nursery Rhymes (circa 1920) edited by Walter Jerrold (1865 – 1929) and illustrated by Charles Robinson.
