This brings to mind the children's song about the old lady who swallowed a fly.

The two last verses are:

I know an old lady
Who swallowed a cow.
I don't know how
She swallowed a cow
She swallowed the cow to catch the dog
What a hog to swallow a dog!
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat
Fancy that! To swallow a cat!
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird
How absurd, to swallowed a bird!
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wriggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
I don't know why she swallowed a fly.
Perhaps she'll die...

I know an old lady who swallowed a horse!
She's dead, of course
