Aunna Jones Poet Rhyme

Mother Goose Gone Mad

Who tripped who first?
Jack or Jill?
From the top of that nursery rhyme hill?
Also just who pushed Humpty Dumpty?
Off to his dreadful fate?
See all the king's horses,
and all the king's men,
intentionally, had gotten there so late.
There the castle hall thrown,
Itsy Bitsy Spider lived above it
had whispered secrets to Little Miss Muffet.
All through the kingdom conspiracy grows,
King Cole turned out to not be such a jolly old soul.
The cow didn't make it over the moon,
landing a bad fall from jumping to soon,
so Jack trader her, for the little beans in town,
the stalk grew so high,
up where gold and giants are found.
Little Bow Peep,
didn't actually loose her sheep,
she snuck out to the pasture for Little Boy Blue
while her mom was asleep.
The old woman in the shoe,
turned out to be,
a mean old grouchy fraudulent mommy.
She sent all her kids out over seas,
row, row, rowing their boats,
to a far off nursery.
They found their way to Old MacDonalds farm,
along with Tweedledum and Tweedledee,
now they are stuck as slaves for song,
for all rhyming eternity.
