Refurbished Nursery Rhymes: Rub-A-Dub-Dub

What nursery rhyme's gayer, I'm asking you, bub,
Than the one that has three grown men sharing a tub?
Was it their sexual orientation,
Or merely water conservation,
And they were all charter members of the Sierra Club?

David Fisher Date: 6/30/2023 5:39:00 PM This is a funny one. Revisionist limericks could become a trend. Mother Goose never had access to the rhymezone web site, I guess. Login to Reply Jim Slaughter Date: 7/1/2023 11:26:00 AM Thanks, David.

Sara Kendrick Date: 6/28/2023 1:54:00 PM Creative for sure. I can remember that one from when I was a child and the illustrations on the page. I was wondering about why were they in a tub myself back then but some of those things mentioned here I had no idea about. Day of innocence. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page.

Bill Baker Date: 6/25/2023 10:04:00 AM Good limerick, Jim. Refurbished rhyme, good ideal. I guess the tub is better than stuck in a sub. lol Have a good day. Bill Login to Reply Jim Slaughter Date: 6/25/2023 10:12:00 AM Thanks, Bill. Close quarters all around, I suppose.

Kim Rodrigues Date: 6/24/2023 1:02:00 PM Never gave it a thought…but you make me wonder! Could have been like a hot tub. A butcher, baker and candlestick maker…hmm. Login to Reply Jim Slaughter Date: 6/24/2023 2:24:00 PM Thanks, Kim. Yeah, Mother Goose leaves a lot of things open to interpretation.
