A Rhyme Crime

A musing Mary, quite stationary sitting with her laptop so still thinks of limo cars, Broadway stars and her dream house on the hill Jill and Jack laid in their sack wondering about Mary on their hill making hay about "will she stay?" tip their bucket to make it spill Georgie Porgie and the water supply got fresh with Mary, then up and went dry and the big bad wolf ate Grandma away George as the wolf, sang Broadway cabaret Little Miss Muffet and Little Jack Horner hawked wares on a New York street corner pies, curds and whey, discounted all day and Little Muffet did, a magic trick play friends Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee hired a blind mouse to make it three sang sidewalk duets, with the mouse rapping shoes clicking softly and tiny cane tapping Old Mother Goose, a Times Square recluse did Father Gander's paycheck squander on baubles and bling and trivial things why she needed all that stuff I wonder Ol' King Cole, his kingdom in a hole decided to further leverage his coffers with bonds of junk and dollars that shrunk he's in Cayman Islands awaiting better offers ganders and gooses are on the looses and Ol' Cole and Mary and Jill and Jack are off on a vacation and won't come back still common rhymes hafta work over time © Goode Guy 2011-10-10
