There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe

Friday, May 8th, 2009

I’ve loved the image of the old woman living in the shoe since I was a child.  (So much so, that it inspired the Mama Lisa logo!)  Of course, the rhyme itself leaves something to be desired…

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 soundly, and put them to bed.

I’ll just keep the first line in my mind with the wonderful image of living in a giant shoe…  Like the interesting one above.  It’s from a drawing by P. Vinton Brown.

Enjoy!
