JOSIE'S POEMS
Alternative Nursery Rhymes
For Children
By Josie Whitehead
The original version of this poem was:
THERE WAS AN OLD WOMAN
THERE WAS
A YOUNG WOMAN
By Josie Whitehead
There was a young woman
Who lived in a flat
With her two lovely children:
Kevin and Pat.
She gave them some soup
And some nice crusty bread
Then kissed them both sweetly
And tucked them in bed.

You will know the original rhyme: 'There was an old woman who lived in a shoe. (Lived in a . . . s h o e?????) 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 sent them to bed.' Oh how cruel. It has since been changed to: 'She gave them some broth and plenty of bread and kissed them all fondly . . .' Of course they changed it, but so have I. How would you change it? Josie
