A little light entertainment on another wistful people distancing day... The Owl and the Puddycat went to sleep tucked up cosy and warm Till Little Boy Blue come blasting his horn causing a raucous storm The Cat and the Fiddle both jumped sky high Mary and her Little Lamb, startled began to cry Jack and Jill both tumbled downhill their pail of water rolled on overspill Baa, Baa Black Sheep trembled with fear He guessed it was time for wool being sheared The Queen of Hearts dropped all her tarts Twenty four blackbirds bit the crust they were lucky, weren’t they just Little Jack Horner, tucking into his pie bit hard on the thumb he’d mistook for a plumb screaming “what kind of fool am I" Yankee Doodle from his pony vaulted lost the feather he’d put in his cap as the poor scared pony bolted. 26th November 2020

Eve I love children’s rhymes too, this was just a fun write to break the monotony of being in second phase of social distancing, third phase commencing beginning of December... Belle
