Humpty Dumpty didn't fall off the wall, his lawyer vehemently claimed
Poor workmanship the major factor, cited as the cause
Loose coping stones could not afford the chance to stay aloft
And the warning signs were too discreet, the writing far too small
In the lobby, dark with pannelled walls, sat a damsel in distress
Little Bo Peep has lost all her sheep, her livelihood in shreds
Yet the truth was not what the papers wrote, but a sinister devious twist
The lady a fellon, exposed to the world, another insurance scam
Georgie Porgie looks out to the world, on a hazy Summer night
From the bars of his cell he can do no harm, only carving on the walls
In counselling he faced himself and came to find his shame
He kissed the girls but none dare speak of how he made them cry
The owl is a coach of a swimming club, the pussycat no more
The pea green boat now a barnacle home at the bottom of the sea
Had they heeded the words of the coastguard on that starry moonlit night
They would have retired to a villa in Spain complete with ocean view
What ails Jack Horner and his thunderous frame is familiar to wise old Jack Spratt
Gluttony chomped on too much Christmas pie and said "What a good boy am I"
Now the arteries creak and just like his wife the end is beginning to loom
When the last to be swallowed, too early they'll say, is his body into the ground

How fun this is! I will not look at nursery rhymes quite so superficially ever again! Wonder if the old lady in the shoe should sue the condom company!
Keep writing, please!

However buster rhymes n my beloved rabbit only now at this point in time jump out at me with a synchronistic feeling of relevance , much love , eyes wide open this time apparently a band ? Xxx |
