DOCTOR FOSTER
Doctor Foster went to Gloucester
In a shower of rain;
He stepped in a puddle, right up to his middle,
And never went there again.
A popular tradition in the West Country suggested that the famous Doctor Foster was King Edward I whose horse got stuck in the mud of a Gloucester street during one of his visits. The mud was so deep that planks of wood were put in front of the horse so it could regain its footing. King Edward I was so upset and angry by the incident that he vowed he would never visit Gloucester again.
