A little riddle for your mind...

A riddle from 1730

As I was going to St Ives
I met a man with seven wives
And every wife had seven sacks
And every sack had seven cats
And every cat had seven kits
Kits, cats, sacks, wives
How many were going to St Ives?

One. You are the only one going to St Ives

None, because the wives didn't know about each other, but then they inevitably found out on the night before he was to go to St. Ives, so they set the cats on the man and the authorities found his mangled, naked corpse several weeks later, in a shallow grave several miles outside of St. Ives.
