\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fractured Nursery Rhymes<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mary had a little lamb.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s fleece was a dirty mess.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

So Mary washed it in the creek.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As it dried it choked to death.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Had a wife & couldn\u2019t keep her.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He put her in a pumpkin shell.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He ate the whole thing. He did well.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bah, bah, black sheep.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you any wool?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Take a guess, creep.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Get an eye full.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jack Sprat could eat no fat.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

His wife wouldn\u2019t eat any lean.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

So he divorced her & got a cat.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2 of them licked the plate clean.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Humpty Dumpty had quite a fall.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He splattered yoke on the stones.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now he lays there in rapture & moans.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jack and Jill went up the hill.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They said they were going for water.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What they did gave them a thrill.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, soon he will be a father.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi diddle diddle. The cat & the fiddle.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The cow jumped over the moon.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

On his way down, he said with a frown.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI think I\u2019ll make buttermilk soon.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tom Thumb, said with a gleam in his eye.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI really like pie.\u201d, as he stuck in his thumb<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

and he pulled out a plumb. He said<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c\u201dDamn, I hate plumb pie.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Who goosed the moose?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Who turned the lunatic loose?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Who wrote these nursery rhymes?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was I\u201d he said between the lines.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
