Nursery Lore

Very scary nursery rhyme One from an olden ancient time Full of nails, blood and gore Isn't that children, what you really here for? Or was it the sweet little Mary from gardening rhymes The one who buried her people all in a line She buried them happily by where they had been Promising them all that there'd be no more sin. Maybe it’s the Egg full of gold coins Who fell off of the wall stretching his loins? All broken and cracked he lay on the ground Screaming and yelling “look its gold that I found” Please remember Jack be quick Burned himself with a candlestick While running around and jumping up high He burned his britches all the way past his thighs And the girl with little lambs She petted and bathed and fed from her hands Their fleece, were sure was white as snow But after school the blood stains showed. The blind mice with tails no more Ran although time to settle a score They found the wretch that maimed them there So, they all ganged up, chewing inward from the hair And for my final rhyme I will tell of the 3pigs this time They were attacked by a wolf for building their home The wolf ended up missing, that’s why wolves don’t walk alone.
