Notes About The Poem

Wobble Inn

Little Bo Peep  her head full of soft cotton wool
Lost sheep! No wonder. She thinks her ram is a bull
Over the hills and far far away
forever these sheep are astray
whilst their little plump bellies remain, delightedly full

There once was a sweetheart with  title of Cinderella
Met a desperate and randy old fella
In her carriage she fled
 prefer he stayed out of her bed
If she has to she'll hide way down  in the cellar

Hickory Dickory Dock a big electric clock
 shorted out, three mice endured a shock
The farmers wife's knife very blunt 
Kept their tails laughed at her stunt
Will they run up again they'll immediately now take stock

There was a tarantula spider well known as Incy or Ipsy
Hotel every Friday always came tottering  home very tipsy
His dwelling is named the Web Inn
When drunk  renamed  Wobble In
Constructed inside a web that's attractive and wispy

Humpty Dumpty he sat on a ten metre wall
Such a conceited big head he was due for a fall
Suddenly bricks took  a  tumble
Humpty now atop this big jumble
Come stick me together that was his desperate call

Jack an invitation to step sister Jill
Together lets go sliding down this long hill
Jill ripped her pants 
can't wear them to dance
But the sliding together gave them a wonderful thrill

Little Miss Muffet sat perched on her tuffet 
The porridge too hot to eat she said stuff it
Through her guts went the curds
passed out now as turds
She then arrived to eat some fruit at a buffet

Little Jack Horner still remains in the same corner
For many years  an inveterate mourner
Once pulled out the plum 
That injured his bum 
Decided it's time to cheer himself up so  dived inside a hot sauna
