If/Then 

Grandmother steps into her basket and laughs
while holding her dustpan and broom.
She’ll polish the stars and sweep the paths
then sneak little bites of the moon.
“Grandmother! Grandmother! Before you go,
there is a question I wanted to ask.”
“I’ll tell you anything you want to know,
but be quick, I must finish my task!”
“What makes the cobwebs in the sky?
Just how big is this outer space spider?”
Grandmother answered with a sigh,
“Trust me, you don’t want to know.”

From this one:

There was an old woman tossed up in a basket
Nineteen times as high as the moon;
Where she was going I couldn't but ask it,
For in her hand she carried a broom.
Old woman, old woman, old woman, quoth I,
O whither, O whither, O whither so high?
To brush the cobwebs off the sky!
Shall I go with thee? Aye, by-and bye.
The Soufflé isn’t the soufflé; the soufflé is the recipe. --Clara
