Trivial note o pronunciation: forehead

>Why, it must, for the rhyme to work:
>There was a little girl

But there's an a alternative, which I have been known to recite, albeit while under the influence of something or other:

When she was good, she was very, very good,
But when she was bad she was 'whore-head'.

(sorry...)
