Best Diddle Poems
HEY DIDDLE, why the Cat and the fiddle
And the Cow that jumped over the moon?
Why they're all here in Nursery Rhyme land
At the wedding of the Dish and the Spoon.
The Little Dog is happy,The Cat is playing a tune
And soon the Dish and the Spoon will go hand in hand
Off on their honeymoon.
The guests include OLD KING COLE
And HUMPTY DUMPTY who sat on a wall
Though he's being very careful today-
Doesn't want to spoil things by having a fall.
MARY MARY QUITE CONTRARY
Has left her garden behind
And come along with LITTLE BO-PEEP
With all her sheep to mind.
SIMPLE SIMON has come with the Pieman
Because they're preparing the food.
And LITTLE JACK HORNER wont sit in the corner
Thinks it might be rather rude.
JACK SPRAT AND HIS WIFE have come for the feasting .
So has THE OLD WOMAN WHO LIVED IN A SHOE,
And OLD MOTHER HUBBARD hopes something left for the cupboard
And her poor dog who's at home with the flu.
WEE WILLIE WINKIE has changed out of his nightshirt
And dressed up in his sunday best,
But he'll have to leave early to check on the children
To make sure that they're all at rest.
LITTLE TOMMY TUCKER wont need to sing for his supper.
GEORGIE PORGIE said he wont make anyone cry.
And JACK AND JILL have brought some lemonade in their bucket
In case some of the guests get dry.
DOCTOR FOSTER returned from Gloucester-
Says he hopes it doesn't rain
But he's brought his umbrella just in case
Doesn't want to get caught out again!
THE CROOKED MAN although he's bent double
Said he's determined to dance,
His partner is BETTY BLUE who lost her shoe
Then happened to find it by chance-
Well these are just some of the wedding guests
Travelled from far and wide
That have come along to celebrate with
The proud groom and his dish of a bride....
So now you know what's going on
With the Cat and the fiddle and the COW that jumped over the moon.
And why the Little Dog laughed to see such fun
All because the Dish fell in love with the SPOON.
Hey, diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon--had no fiddle,
The little dog laughed, got smashed as a Poodle,
the cow laughed a little, and found the fiddle,
The cat played to Nero, a pal and hero,
yet smelled things burning while playing the fiddle,
The cat Roam'ed about, thought it was the griddle,
though the cow saw Nero play fire--did fiddle,
Caught in a piddle, while cat Roam'ed a riddle,
dish sought by a poodle, as cow plays fiddle,
the taste of kumquat, the dish adds a riddle,
as things come short, the cat loses the fiddle,
ponders a poodle, a true diddle, diddle,
noise sought--found, twiddle, a dish and a fiddle,
To see such sport--the poodle in the middle,
the dish ran away while spooning the fiddle.
Hey diddle diddle
The dog did a piddle
Right in front of the groom
The bride’s dress was sprayed
But she wasn’t dismayed …
He’s a guest of the bride and the groom!

Hoopdie diddle didy de.
Grab your fiddle and follow me.
Play a diddy for the crowd.
Play it pretty and play it loud.
Fiddle, Riddle, Diddle
Peter Dolittle did play a fiddle
Couldn't tell too many fun riddles
Didn't miss a beat
Was not so as neat
Oh, oh, now he's doing a diddle.

((RIDDLES-FIDDLES-DIDDLES ))
My towel is constructed of silk
That did not make sense at all
I drink bitter sour milk
Once again no sense at all
A busted line - A stronghold
Confusing as we speak?
A thief breaks and left gold instead
Leaving my world incomplete ???
In my dream he cut my head
puzzled ???
My dreams in a flowerbed
I'm still puzzled ???
White winter shelter when it comes to snow
a riddle, a riddle of black snow
Black as the night covered by coal
Wonder if I said good night?
I walk and I have no feet
I speak and I have no mouth
Why is it impossible?
a breathing exercise,
misunderstood
the stick walking is bent
My boat is flipped upside right of everything
The grave is empty with dirt and debris
I've lost my mind completely
((Last but not least))
The grandmother is tall
The mother came short
The father is darker than most
Some white child of sort
Why the Mexican???

Hey diddle diddle, need to piddle
Aimed for the cat, hit her right in the twiddle
Sometimes I miss
My cat she does hiss
Our long lasting friendship has started to fizzle

Hey diddle diddle who wants to diddle
Or maybe play a tune on my fiddle
I may be quite old
But my body's not cold
Though I may need to stop for a piddle

Once upon a time
A diddle, a daddle
Just what's the matter
Y U trippin
Dipping and Sipping
Constantly spying
All this defining
Faucet running
Just because
zzzzzzzzzzzd bubble bubble trouble
I dropped the cell phone in the dish water???

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.
Peace equal harmony
they are a dichotomy
Scene not by my brother
but it's seen by his other
To me such a humdrum
him being a conundrum
Go I to the priest
who simply insist
To pray, ask the divine
to bring back his mind
I prayed brother to be fine
just then he gave this sign
He said brother you're funny
much like, that Easter Bunny
There's no PIECE in harmony
so did that solve my mystery
Me being funny
No not a bunny
Notwithstanding a puzzle and a riddle
for I am a cat, my brother's my fiddle
Hmmm diddle, where’s I put my fiddle
Fiddlely D, you’r somethin like me
Somethin like me makes me holler
Where r you?
You’r here then you’r there
My foots in the back door waitin
Waitin for you
Turning round and round
dizzy enough to fall to the ground
Laughing so hard
can barely catch your breath
aaaah you say, fresh apple pie.
To quantify an equation,
takes more than mere calculation,
Take the sun and moon,
now consider they’re coordinations,
One 8 light minutes from earth,
other just a single light second,
Both appear the same size in the sky,
more or less it’s reckoned,
So how can it be, very simply
put, it’s an optical illusion,
Sun is 400 times further away,
and part of this cosmic collusion,
While heck the moon is 400 times
smaller, a very neat solution,
So in effect an eerie perfect
resemblance, bit like evolution.
I’m not buying random
chaos, just because all appears right,
Must take luminosity into
consideration, to bring in the light,
This is where I have problems,
accepting some natural phenomena,
Damn moon is more than a rock,
reflecting rays of minuscule quanta.
Every now and then, blocking
the whole sun in a shadow,
Albeit along strange curved paths,
sometimes very narrow,
Such a perfect arrangement,
one so complex, yet it’s known,
In geostationary observation,
light photons reveal a solid stone.
Bizarre or factual, we predict
eclipses with unfailing accuracy,
Thousands of years past and future,
are detailed miraculously,
But for me it’s too convenient,
so much I refuse to believe,
This accident of serendipitous
alignment, real purpose does deceive.
A yardstick of information,
used to prove Einsteins relativity,
During an eclipse, light from stars
behind the sun, bends in reactivity,
That moon is our starting point,
Earths next stage of devolution,
Put there by god knows what,
for humanities ultimate revolution.
I know this poem is filled, with
many cosmic contradictions,
Without any scientific limits,
my mind holds no restrictions,
Subjects always beg questions,
blind acceptance just needs faith,
But we’re more than any rock,
locked in gravitational embrace.
These steppingstones to reality,
lie strategically well placed,
All the information we need,
lies before our eyes in space,
Each one has pointers, not
buried but within plain view,
Secrets can be deciphered, it’s
human imagination solves the clue.
By
David Kavanagh
Einstein figured out relativity
through his mind experiments
using the power of imagination
The moon proved he was right.
Hey diddle diddle, really need to piddle
Aim for the cat, hit her right in the middle
Sometimes I miss
My cat she does hiss
Our long lasting friendship has started to fizzle
Hey diddle diddle, dee
Mother Goose is cool
She's a kid's teaching tool.
Nursery rhymes, you rock.
I've read you all my life,
and as adult full-grown
made up some of my own.
Here 's one you've never heard:
Hey diddle diddle, dee,
Cat’s fiddle is too loud.
The cow seeds a cloud
and drops fall down.
Milk rains like cats and dogs;
but if the dogs should laugh
they morph into a calf.
Fiddle-dee-dee!
As veal cutlets mushroom,
veal scallopini thrives.
Dish jokes with spoons and knives
“Here’s the beef.”

'You and yours, lets get personal any theme thereupon, any form, in my FINAL' Poetry Contest by Brian Strand.
Nursery rhymes likely have had more impact than I realize
on my joy in writing poetry, the rhythm and rhyme and make-believe.
