The Old Woman Tossed In A Basket

 

There was an old woman tossed up in a basket

Seventeen times as high as the moon;

Where she was going I couldn't but ask it,

For in the hand she carried a broom.

 

''Old woman, old woman, old woman,'' quoth I,

''Where are you going to up so high?''

''To brush the cobwebs of the sky!''

'' May I go with thee?''

'' Aye, by-and-by.''
