There Was an Old Woman Tossed Up 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 her 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 off the sky!”
“May I go with you?”
“Aye, by and by.”
What’s the News?
What’s the news of the day, Good neighbour, I pray? They say the balloon
Has gone up to the moon.
