Original Mother Goose:
As I was Going to St. Ives
By Anonymous
As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives,
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits:
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were there going to St. Ives?
Answer: One (me!)
But leaving St. Ives? One man, 7 wives, and 343 cats.....Yikes! No wonder he let them all go...
