Old Mot her<br />
Illustrated by Natalie Pudalov<br />
Old Mother Hubbard<br />
Went <strong>to</strong> the cupboard<br />
To fetch her poor dog a bone.<br />
But when she got there,<br />
<strong>The</strong> cupboard was bare,<br />
And so the poor dog had none.<br />
Hubbard<br />
She went <strong>to</strong> the baker’s<br />
To buy him some bread.<br />
But when she came back,<br />
<strong>The</strong> dog s<strong>to</strong>od on his head.<br />
She went <strong>to</strong> the tailor’s<br />
To buy him a coat.<br />

He was riding a goat.<br />
She went <strong>to</strong> the barber’s<br />
To buy him a wig.<br />
But when she came back,<br />
He was dancing a jig.<br />
