FIRST FRUITS BASKET THINGIE! Sorry I got excited…
I do realize that not all of these make 100% sense (she ate a rabbit to catch a rooster and a snake before that) but it was harder than I thought to write and not all the animals fitted perfectly. I went for size rather than food chain, but I suppose in the original she eats a horse after the cow so go figure. Oh btw I am also aware that the song says old lady, but I made it strange to fit more with Akito. She's not old, just strange. Some of the rhymes suck, just so you know. I also apologize if you didn't know Akito was actually a woman and I just gave it away.
This is really just a little bit of randomness that I came up with while I was watching kid's TV shows at my grandmother's house.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket or the kid's song 'there was an old lady (who swallowed a fly)
Btw, I suggest u look up the kids song if u don't know it and read it to the tune of the song, it sounds better that way.
Enjoy!

(1) - I know Kureno is a him but him didn't rhyme
(2) - This is referring to the fact that shigure and Ayame are always calling Hatori so he never gets a good night's sleep
(3) – I know Kagura's not THAT violent but I need something to rhyme with boar…
