The document is a rhyming story about an old lady who swallowed various art supplies like a crayon, chalk, pencil, paint, brush, glue, and paper. Each time she swallowed a new item, it was to use with the previous things she had swallowed. In the end, after swallowing the paper, she burped up a masterpiece. The story is told in a silly, rhyming way to describe her swallowing more items to create with.
