Solutions To Old Nursery Rhyme Complaints

I've often wondered who dealt with fairy tale complaints. There seems to be a lot of them among the fairy tale acquaints. Here are just a few suggestions I myself if could, would make and maybe fairy Tale land would be peaceful for heaven's sake. Old Mother Hubbard had no bones in her cupboard and her dog has no bone. We could offer her Pease pudding and even if it is nine days old, I am sure the dog would be happy with the old crone. Peter Peter Pumpkin eater, put his wife in a shell, there he kept her very well. There's no time to plead and pine nor no time to wheedle, if she would kiss him quick, he would be gone, and pop would go that weasel. Seesaw Margery Daw, Johnny got a new master johnny only earned a penny a day because he could work no faster. He should take lessons from Peter Piper who could pick a peck of pickles and at it became a master. There was an old woman who lived in a house exceedingly small, a man open his mouth and swallowed woman, house and all. Maybe he should of had some of the King's Blackbird pie and he could have filled his tummy instead with a pie full of caw.

Thank you. These are the rhymes I grew up with. These very same rhymes read over and over and over have led to my inability to write without rhyme.

this is super clever, Sharon. It reminds me of the time I did a series of twisted nursery rhyme haiku for a contest a long time ago. I love this. Also, I'm so glad you liked my Touch poem!
