"I know an old lady who swallowed a pie . . .
A Thanksgiving pie, which was really too dry.
Perhaps she'll die."
She swallowed some cider, a roll and a salad,
"she was looking quite pallid
after that salad . . . "
And then the old lady swallowed a turkey.
"Her future looked murky, after that turkey!
She swallowed the turkey to go with the salad . . .
She swallowed a roll to go with the cider,
That rumbled and mumbled and grumbled inside her.
She swallowed the cider to moisten the pie,
The Thanksgiving pie, which was really too dry.
Perhaps she'll die."
" I know an old lady who swallowed some bread.
Oh, gracious! I must own that... I love a good laugh.
