A retrospective look at one of the old "Nursery Rhymes"
…and that’s the truth
Hey diddle, diddle
the cat and the fiddle
the cow jumped over the moon
the little dog laughed to see such fun
and the dish ran away with the spoon
“JIMMY!!!!” How many times have I told you….
don’t leave the fiddle where the cat can get at it?”
“MAN, DUDE, if they ever legalize this sh..
everyone will find out about that cow.”
“DAMN!! Fiddles and fumes, fiddles and fumes.”
“You’d laugh too if you saw that culinary couple
running from the “munchies”.
Hey diddle, diddle
the cats now in Nashville
the cow’s on a flight to Mars
The dog’s in a rehab in Denver
the dish and the spoon – tending bar.
