diddle-daddle, do nothing Dan
fiddle faddled with Francine’s fan
he’s your guy said her sis, he’s your man.
Too lazy to leap from a frying pan?
He is a sloth said his neighbor, Fran.

Mystery Solved

Hey diddle diddle
there's no more riddle
I'm a fast learner
I now know how
the cow jumped over the moon
from her afterburner
by methane expelled
through the air she's propelled
the little dog barfed to smell such sport
as the gas blown away made him swoon

Premium MemberA Little Diddle

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

Premium MemberHey Diddle Diddle

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

Premium MemberRefurbished Nursery Rhymes: Hey diddle diddle

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

Premium MemberFiddle Middle Diddle Biddle Riddle

the jazz-playing giraffe is on the sax and bob is on the fiddle
Let’s do some dancing down the hill and meet in the middle
I loved what I was hearing from my auntie Doris, Diddle Biddle.
Ended up staying out all late with a friend who tells a great riddle.

Aim for the cat, hit her right in the middle

My cat she does hiss
Our long lasting friendship has started to fizzle

Premium MemberHey Diddle Riddle

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,
...

Diddle D

Trump supporters are quite a riddle
They're for, or against, but no middle
If that gets your goat
Then you should take note
Trump plays every string on a fiddle!

Hey Diddle Diddle

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

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

Premium MemberOh No Diddle Daddle Drop the Cell Phone In the Dish Water

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???

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!

Fiddle, Riddle, Diddle

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.
