There was once a tramp who went around looking for alms and he called at an old ladies door
He asked had she any potatoes left over after the dinner She told him she was bothered with flies and if he got rid of them for her she would give him his dinner
He told her he would do away with them after his dinner and when he had it finished he went outside the door and got a big stick. He said to her send them out to me one by one and I will kill them all.
