Refurbished Nursery Rhymes: Hey diddle diddle
The rhyme "Hey diddle diddle"
For me poses a riddle:
What possible need
Has a cat for a fiddle?
A cow might jump over the moon,
So I'm told,
If a milkmaid's hands
Are unexpectedly cold.
Which could make a dog laugh,
Or anyone, for that matter,
Just as funny as cutlery
"Spooning" a platter.
This rhyme is so silly,
Raises so many questions,
But as for solutions,
Not one good suggestion.
So I'll add here my own sage advice
To the muddle
To prevent boys when peeing
From making a puddle:
When you need to go piddle,
Think "Hey diddle diddle",
Keep both your eyes open
And aim for the middle.
