THE OLD WOMAN IN A SHOE, 52,
Strict, Whip-Happy Schoolmistress

You are a school mistress who is in charge of Nursery Rhyme Town’s “Boot” School for problem children.  The school is located in a large shoe.  You rule your charges with stern discipline, and are not afraid to whip them hard, or starve them if it brings about better behaviour.  It is for their own good.  Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son is one of your pupils.

You do have a softer side.  As well as problem children the school also accepts charity pupils, and upon graduation you often find these orphans jobs with which to make a start in life.  Trauma victim Polly Flinders was such a pupil.  You are teaching Georgie Porgie to speak French.

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,
Then whipped them and stripped them and sent them to bed.
