Nursery Rhyme Land
Hickory Dickory Dock, the mouse,
Ran up the clock,
But the crooked little man
In his crooked little house,
Who caught this crooked mouse
After Humpty Dumpty's fall,

Down of baby, cradle and all!
Now old Mother Hubbard,

Brenda Sheri Baby and Chim Shim Cherie

Chimney happy as can be.

Others may be fooling and beguiling.
Fatality A Reality

Killifish
I've got a dish of killifish
I wish to eat that silly fish
Baked, or fried in peanut oil
Roasted, dried, or let to boil.
Make me a star-gazy pie
Take me to the Catfish Fry
Lead me to the China...

One day a little boy
the price he had to pay
Lost his toy
To a bully by the way
Running home in tear and fear
He thought nobody really care
In and straight upon the bed

Jack's Ironman Contest
Not quite as thin and nimble being middle-aged,

trying to jump over the candlestick,

with his privates requiring a little first aid,
Then he had to...

Could they just for a joke smoke while they...

No Time For a Nursery Rhyme
Mary had a little lamp,
Its bulb would nightly glow.
It cast a white, but gentle light,
So her pimples wouldn't show.

Many savor sweet.
Recipes that call for both
Are where the twain shall meet.
Certain people would...
