Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes for adults?

 One, two Buckle My Shoe  

One,  two,  Got caught cheating on you
Three, four, we got a divorce
Five, six, how much do I get?
Seven, eight,I have a hot date
Nine, ten, Got married again!

 Do Your Ears Hang Low?

Do your breasts hang low?
And not stay where they go?
When you lay down on your bed,
They social distance like covid!
Lost in the woods way out?
They're like a compass, pointing South.
Do your breasts hang low?


 Ring Around the Rosy

Ring around the toilet
And you just ignore it
Some men are asses,
Put the seat down! 


 Little Miss Muffet

Little Miss Muffet 
Joined a commune to rough it
Eating organic each day
Along came a spider
Who offered to hide her
If she'd be friends 
and not run away 



  Baa, Baa Black Sheep

Baa,baa, black sheep
You think you are so cool
Being a rebel, skipping days of school
Once to go swimming, once to just hang out
In this family that's not what we're about
Baa,baa, black sheep
You think that you are cool?
No sir, no sir, you are just a fool.  


Mary Had A Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb
His fleece was white as snow
Because the Son of God,
No sin did he know.

He followed me to school one day 
which was against the rules
They said we're not allowed to pray 
Or speak of him at school

Why does the Lamb love me so?
And hear my every cry?
He loves everyone you know
And that is why He died.

Premium Member Legos Nursery Rhymes

My bedroom has a rug on the wood floor,  
Many colorful squares are everywhere.  
I made a tall blue tower up my door,  
It went into the pretty orange air.  
Building away from the Lego red bear,  
Rusty the red bear wants to tickle me.  
Up the tall blue tower I now must flee.

Premium Member 'nursery Rhymes,' If You Dare

A tisket, a tasket
    He peed in her basket
  He stuck in his thumb
    Is he ever dumb

  She sat on a tuffet
    Muffet couldn't 'rough it'
  Jill went up the hill
    Jack sure got a thrill 

  Peas porridge hot
    Hits her sweet spot
  The Prince put on her slipper
    Then dove right into her

  If you think this is too daring ~
    Read what your grandkids are sharing

Premium Member Very Naughty Nursery Rhymes

Mary had a little lamb

The birth was quite a sensation

It should go down in the history books

She needed a lot of sedation

Pinocchio had a very long nose

It grew when telling a lie

Geppetto couldn't keep it from growing

No matter how hard he tried

Three little piggies went tripping along

To the butcher, they were the target

Who was bent on chopping these piggies up

To sell 'em at the local market

Baa baa black sheep have you any wool

Of course the answer is yes

They're sheep, that's a real silly question

Three bags full would be my guess

Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle

Didn't think cats could play an instrument

Though I've heard some play a viola

That'd be like me climbing trees, the equivalent

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick

At my age, you must be jazzing me

It's been a long time since I was nimble or quick

Was probably just a wee tike of three

Georgie Porgie pudding and pie

The current trend is over eating

No wonder obesity is rampant in the world

Bad habits our kids we've been teaching

Mary had a little lamb

She also had a goat

Mary's been messing with the animals again

Naughty Mary, I here do quote

Premium Member Refurbished Nursery Rhymes: The old woman who lived in a shoe

It's no wonder that old dame knew not what to do,
If she thought she could raise kids alone in a shoe.
She proved after the second
She was overly fecund,
Maybe Mother Goose reckoned she'd have child support, too.

Premium Member 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?

Nantucket Nursery Rhymes

gardening back the perennial shade, 
  no time or reason to follow these
  months into their graves.

   wandering whale songs through a nantucket
  wheather vain storm in the plow and bury
  the fishnet parable. 

 a sower of seeds carries the mythic legend, 
 the horse drawn mantle and the weary knuckle.

 but let the sea drown in its own sorrows,
 for there is a harbor of stories in the dry
 leaf bed of an old teacup on the porch.

  the ambient light of the colodial silver
  half moons, half shiverers and half
  tumbles down.

 an orchard of angelic promises in the
 sky nurtures and gathers every wool 
capped stone.

 near polar latitudes along the borders 
of a window pane freeze and keep out 
every unknown stranger. 

 biblical knocking... pulling.. tears open 
and lets enter the seagulls half hearted charms.

21st Century Nursery Rhymes 168

Multiplication is vexation,
Division is as bad;
And that’s why they invented the calculator

Butterfly

I live on trees
I eat green leaves
I crawl and crawl and hide 
From the Beings in unfurled leaves 

I sing with the wind in silver moonlight 
And wait and wait till the time is right
To enter the Chrysalis and get some sleep
To bear two wings and paint them bright 

I wait and wait and never make a sigh! 
Then break the cocoon and fly real high
I flap and flap and flap my wings
Embrace new life and wonders of the sky

Fancy a drink from the leaves of a flower?
Or a ride on Breeze to a nearby tower? 
Wait and wait till the time you are ready! 
Work on your wings and make them steady!

Premium Member Refurbished Nursery Rhymes: In the Case of Tommy Tucker

Why did little Tommy Tucker
Have to sing for his supper?
Did he stammer and stutter
To merit just bread and butter?
And what miscreant oaf
Would then give him a loaf
But nary a knife to cut through it?
Didn't Tom have enough strife
In his life with no wife,
Or did fat spread on starch
Help him chew it?

IT AIN'T NURSERY RHYMES
     (It's haiku by Shiraito)
Three little kittens
jumped over the candle stick
Mama goose is sick

peas porridge is hot
can't get to heaven on a watermelon rind
Mama goose is loose

old man Humpty Dumpt
sat in a corner on his rumpt
squashed a big spider

hear the mourning dove
got a big hole in my glove
I might be in love

one potato two potato
twenty-six potato more
Susie's a floozie

come ride on my swing
you can sit right on my lap
we'll pump to the sky

Let's Go Out - Nursery Rhymes

Let's go to park
Daily by walk
We shall talk
of birds in flock
and dogs that bark
Until the dark

Let's go to Lake
To see the crakes
the floating ducks
and their darling chicks
And sing quack quack quack
till the sky goes black

Get out of the chair
Let's go somewhere
to breath fresh air
and to do some dare
For nature is a cure
if only we care

Porgie George, Little Jack Horner
Kissed a girl off in a corner
They were all thumbs and made her cry
Offed in prison, absent mourners.

Peter Piper, Peter Peter
Killed a girl and tried to eat her.
The cops dispatched each with a shell;
They help Charon, Limbo’s greeters.
