Life Is Not a Nursery Rhyme
Life is not a nursery rhyme
Once upon a time, not too long ago
Children were safe wherever they go
Playing and skipping ‘til way after dark
Dancing and singing in the play park
Ring-a-ring-a-rosy
Where did she go, the girl with the posy?
Hush-a-push-a
Along came a stranger and away he usher
We all fall down
Raping and strangling her and
Buries her underground
----------------------
Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep
Slowly behind her the psycho would creep
They didn’t know where to find her
The search was called off, they left it alone
Everyone’s tired they all went back home
Finding her mutilated body crushed with a stone
-------------------------
This is the new trend, spreading like wild
Taking the life of an innocent child
----------------------
Peter Peter the pumpkin eater
Had a wife and up he beat her
He kept her in a pumpkin shell
Verbally and mentally abusing her as well
Little did she know
To a helpline she can go
And get a restraining order
So Peter Peter, the pumpkin eater
Will no longer be allowed to beat her

On the street corner poses little Miss Muffet
Showing off her worth and strutting her tuffet
Along came a driver in a brand new red spider
Looking so charming and pulls up beside her
And escorts Miss Muffet away

Why are we leading our young girls astray?
From the tender age on nine prostituting their lives away

Little Jack Horner sells crack on the corner
Along with his drug laced pie
Once you’re addicted
It’s so hard to fix it
So don’t even give it a try
He gives it on credit, and if you can’t debit
Then surely a loved one will die
____________________
These are the times where we live in fear
Fifty innocent children killed in less than a year!
Instead we should hear their merry little laughter
And live in peace forever and ever after!
The End
