Children's Nursery Rhyme and Poem
As I was going to St. Ives

A Nursery Rhyme Poem for Children


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 going to St. Ives?
