She wasn't old, and she sure as hell didn't live in a shoe

It’s not surprising that teenage pregnancy is reported to be on the increase year after year. After all the government does insist on giving every benefit going to underage single mothers.

In many parts having a child out of wedlock is considered shameful, not here; in this country it’s a career option.

The fact of the matter is, when so many benefits such as free homes, bills paid by the state and free money are on offer, why other going to work?

I’m sure most people will be familiar with the nursery rhyme “There was an old woman who lived in a shoe”. It went something like this…..

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 all soundly and put them to bed.

It was in fact based on a real woman, she was used as a warning to young girls of the dangers of alcohol and promiscuity; not as a role model.
