Who Killed the Old Lady?
Was it that fly (the first swallow), or the horse she used for a chaser?
LIKE the old woman in the ballad, "She swallowed a fly and never knew why; She swallowed a spider to catch the fly;" (a bird to catch the spider; a cat to catch the bird; a dog to catch the cat and so on). She finally wound up swallowing a horse. "She's dead, of course. But she never knew why she swallowed the fly." I've often wondered if she was an alcoholic.
