Finn, Fin, Philly
When my son Finlay was in school, the other kids used to call him "faggot". I didn't think it was that nice at the time but as it turns out he is a homosexual now so maybe those kids really helped him discover his true self.

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly
I don't know why she swallowed a fly - perhaps she'll die!

I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!

How absurd to swallow a bird.
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;

What a hog, to swallow a dog;
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,

I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!
