There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
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; And whipped them all soundly and put them to bed. But when morning came with the bright rising sun, The shoe-house awoke and the day had begun. The children slid down from the heel to the toe, While the old woman smiled at the wonderful show. The laces made swings where they played with delight, The tongue was a slide that went left and then right. The sole was a garden where flowers would grow, With vegetables, fruits, and berries in a row. The heel was a kitchen where cooking took place, With everyone helping and working with grace. They baked lots of cookies and bread warm and sweet, A wonderful change from the broth they would eat. The toe was a classroom where learning was fun, With books full of stories for everyone. They counted and spelled and sang songs with glee, Learning new things as happy as can be. Outside of the shoe was a small little stream, Where children would splash and play and dream. They built tiny rafts from leaves that would float, Clapping and cheering for each little boat. For lunch they had picnics on top of the heel, The view was so pretty, it was quite a big deal. They spotted bluebirds and clouds passing by, Then counted the stars appearing in the sky. When rain would fall down, the shoe kept them dry, As drops tapped a rhythm from clouds up high. They danced and they played games right through the shower, Making the most of each rainy hour. The old woman taught them to knit and to sew, To make their own clothes as bigger they'd grow. With colorful threads, they made blankets so warm, To cuddle together when came a big storm. When evening arrived and the day was all done, They thought about all of the day's special fun. The old woman gathered them close with a book, And read them a story in their special nook. With kisses and hugs she tucked each one in bed, With soft gentle pats on each sweet sleepy head. "I love you, my dears," the old woman would say, "Rest well and dream big for another fun day." Though living in a shoe might seem rather strange, This family was happy and wouldn't exchange Their wonderful home for a castle or tower, For love filled their shoe every minute and hour.
