NURSERY RHYMES RE-
A recent way of passing the time. First are mine, second Joyce Magnall
19 february 2023
A trio of visually challenged mice, a trio of visually challenged mice
Watch ‘em bleedin’ scarper, Watch ‘em bleedin’ scarper
Each of ‘em wanted to go for glory
A mouse PM, an amazing story !
Lasted a week, they opted for tory
The three challenged mice
SECOND:
Three blind mice, stuck in the rice
Mum came to see, said ‘Where is our tea?’
‘We just couldn’t move’ said the little one
‘We wanted our pudding but it had gone…
We shouted for dad but he sang us a song…
Called ‘Three blind mice ‘
Tom-
Tweeted tweets that were too long
More than 140 innit
So they went and upped the limit.
SECOND:
Tom, Tom the piper’s son
Bred a pig which weighed a ton.
The Tories found out and taxed its snout
‘Cos Eton didn’t teach what it’s all about !
Mary Mary got quite hairy
How long should she let it grow?
Out of her nose
Down to her toes?
Along the pavement? No.
SECOND:
Mary, Mary played in a dairy
Dancing with all the cows.
The cows got dizzy
Put Mary in a tizzy
‘Cos Toms now there with all his sows ‘
Oh, the sad old Duke of York
Had umpteen teddy bears.
He played with them around the house
And sometimes up the stairs.
His servants put them straight
Whenever he went to bed
And if they were only half way straight
He’d enjoy chopping off their head.
SECOND:
Oh the Randy Duke of York
He liked the sweet young girls
He couldn’t sweat, liked pizzas yet …
Of money he had none.
So when he was up he was up
But suddenly he was down
So off he went to mummy dear
“Please let me have your crown”
Wee Willie Winkie had a desperate mission
Being ‘King of the World’ became his life’s ambition
Lying through the window, dying in a ditch
Business Meetings, wine and cheese
More wine and wine, that’s rich.
SECOND:
Wee Willie Winkie ran through the town..
He didn’t have his cap on .. or his nightgown!
He knocked on all the windows, He shouted through the locks.. ‘
Where did I leave my clothes please ? I’ll soon be in the docks !’
Little Liz Muffet, she sat on a tuffet
Weaving a cunning plan
She wrecked all the money
and thought it was funny
As only a tory can.
SECOND:
Little Miss Muffet replaced her tuffet
( The spider had made such a mess )
The new one was wooden
Bits got in her ‘pudden’
And damaged her pretty new dress’
Raab Raab black sheep, do you treat staff well?
Yes sir, yes sir, as far as I can tell
That’s not what I’ve heard, they say you’re a bully
We’ll investigate you further, comprehensively and fully.
SECOND:
Baa, Baa black sheep hadn’t any wool,
There’d been a little incident with Old McDonalds bull !
So .. there was none for the master and none for the dame,
But lots for Old McDonald, who farmed down the lane.
I had a little nut job,
Little did she care
Truss in her was absent
Competence was rare.
Wonderful pork markets
But cheese was a disgrace
How I’d like to slap
That smiley little face.
SECOND:
I had a little nut tree, But do you really care?
It didn’t have a nut on it.. It made me want to swear!
I keep it for a year or two, until it grew a beard .
But then I saw it had no roots …. Just as I had feared.
