Scrabble in Nursery Rhyme

Authors

John Holgate

Abstract

There was an old woman who hid in her shoe

Some esses for gaining a point (sometimes, two).

SHe sneaked them in one at a time

And no one detected the crime --

But when she played SASSAFRAS, SISSY and SMILES,

Her opponent demanded a recount of titles.
