Answer: Mother Goose

Did you know that the name "Mother Goose" started around the 1600s? The famous witch hunts occurred at this time as well.
This nursery rhyme is considered to have a dark meaning about Mother Goose, that she flies on a broom (the goose), was old like witches were supposed to be, lived alone in her house in the woods like witches do, and had an owl as her guard like witches were known to do.

'Old Mother Goose
When she wanted to wander
Would fly through the air
On a very fine gander.

Mother Goose had a house;
It stood in the wood
Where an owl at the door
As sentinel stood.'
