Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard,
To fetch her poor dog a bone.
But when she got there,
The cupboard was bare,
And so the poor dog had none.
She went to the fishmonger's
To buy him some fish;
But when she came back,
He was licking the dish.
She went to the grocer's
To buy him some fruit;
But when she came back,
He was playing the flute.
She went to the cobbler's
To buy him some shoes;
But when she came back,
He was reading the news!
