Fibonacci’s Train and Introduction: Old Woman Tossed Up In A Basket (Trad. Nursery Rhyme)

There was an old woman tossed up in a basket
Ninety-nine times as high as the moon
But where she was going no mortal could tell
For under her arm she carried a broom
‘Old woman, old woman, old woman,’ said I
‘Wither, ah wither? Wither so high?’
‘Oh, I’m sweeping the cobwebs off the sky
And I’ll be with you by and by’

So let me sleep, just let me sleep
I want to curl beneath these sheets
And fall ten stories deep…

And oh, I just want to take the next train home
I’ve climbed this hill so many times
Got nothing left to show
Oh, I just want to take the next train home
And I don’t want to let you down
And I don’t want to fail
I know this outcome is inevitable
And I keep chasing my own tail
Is Fibonacci laughing now
Well, what was I expecting?
And it all comes down to moments
And these questions of connection
It all comes down to moments
And it all comes down again …

Oh, just let me sleep
Let Fibonacci keep all my dreaming for a while …

And oh, I just want to take the next train home
I’ve climbed this hill so many times
Got nothing left to show
Oh, I just want to take the next train home
And I don’t want to let you down
And I don’t want to fail
I know this outcome is inevitable
And I keep chasing my own tail
But sometimes you can hear me
And sometimes it’s ok
Sometimes you can hear me
And sometimes it’s ok

Oh someday, oh someday
And someday will I sleep as Fibonacci sweeps all those cobwebs from the sky?
He’s singing I shall be with you by and by
I shall be with you.
