Shoe Lady

There are a lot of nursery rhymes that I remember from my childhood, though as I was trying to think of the old lady who lived in the shoe, I couldn't remember the last two lines. Per http://nurseryrhymes.allinfoabout.com/there-was-an-old-woman I now know the whole thing.

"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;
She whipped them all soundly and put them to bed."

I think I liked this character/lady better before I knew she was mean. I thought she was just being wise with her money by living in a shoe before stumbling across this website!
