This old man

a very popular old nursery rhyme, so nice :)...i jus HAD to mess wid it then :P...read on..

This old man, he played one,
Called the children home for fun,
He shushed their cries and put them in a room,
This old man went dancing home.

This old man, he played two,
Kept them there till he was through,
The kids never liked it when he moaned,
This old man went dancing home.

This old man, he played three,
As he swung the axe with glee,
He took their souls and gave his dog the bones,
This old man went dancing home.

This old man, he played four,
He also used to keep a score,
It helped him know, how long there was to go,
This old man went dancing home.

This old man, he played five,
Their helpless sobs gave him a high,
He waved at their parents next morning in town,
This old man went dancing home.

This old man, he played six,
His mind had started playing tricks,
He felt they all knew it was him alone,
This old man went dancing home.

This old man, he played seven,
The children point at him from heaven,
He can't face them, he can't take any more,
This old man went dancing home.

This old man, he played eight,
Cracked under the inner weight,
Into the woods, one night in a storm,
This old man went dancing home.

This old man, he played nine,
Let the chill run down his spine,
He swung his axe, a full one-eighty,
This old man then ceased to be.

This old man, he played ten,
Another one added to his den,
In the place where it burns, he's down below,
This old man's gone dancing home.
