There was an old woman of Leeds
Who spent all her time in good deeds;
She worked for the poor
Till her fingers were sore,
This pious old woman of Leeds.
________________________________________
The old nursery rhyme 'There was an old woman of Leeds' is believed to refer to a woman called Sarah Keighley. Sarah Keighley was a pious woman, from the English town of Leeds. She had strong Calvinistic principles and was the aunt of the American theologian Joseph Priestley (1733-1804). Priestley is usually remembered for his 1774 discovery, in England, of oxygen. Priestley left England for a new life in Pennsylvania where he counted Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and James Watt amongst his friends..

There was a woman from Leeds,
whose t i t s were made out of seeds,
She tripped down the stairs,
because of her flares,
and now the carpets just weeds.

There was a woman from Leeds
Who lived by the reeds
Of the river by Old Barnsley Way.
She looked after horses,
Took equestrian courses,
And took every show prize away!

easy answer: convinced My closest chum is male and he changed into raped once by ability of his then girlfriend, he changed into blacked out on the time. Rape in it really is maximum elementary definition is compelled sex. also in some countries forcing an merchandise, no longer only a body area, into *certain places* is labeled as rape, or dozing with someone lower than a particular age could count number as rape. So in such countries if a woman did that to a male she could be raping him.
