Mother Goose COVID Rhymes<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi diddle diddle.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

He jumped so high.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cause he didn\u2019t want to die.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

COVID-19 was coming soon.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

His wife could eat no lean.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So between the two of them.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They both got COVID-19<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Jack & Jill.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Went up the hill.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 To fetch a pail of water.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Jack fell down.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 And broke his crown.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jill said COVID was in the water.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Old mother Hubbard lived in a shoe.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She had so many kids<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She didn\u2019t know what to do.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So she said \u201dIt\u2019s COVID time.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And sent the kids to school.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little Jack Horner.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sat in a corner.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eating a plumb pie.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stuck in his thumb.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And pulled out a plumb.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And said \u201cWithout gloves I will die.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

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

She died of COVID & went to hell.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

All the kings horses.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And all the kings men.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got COVID eating Humpty for breakfast again.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little boy Blue.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come blow your horn.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Play taps now.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we can mourn.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
