Why did little Tommy Tucker Have to sing for his supper? Did he stammer and stutter To merit just bread and butter?

Premium Member Refurbished Nursery Rhymes: The Family Spratt
Mrs. Spratt was exceedingly fat, Hubby Jack was as lean as a bone. They both relished each meal With a great deal of zeal And even licked platters clean When the eating was done. Though not frugal with rations, They still took lovely vacations With the money they saved on dish detergent alone. ...

The first little piggy went to market; The second demurred and preferred to stay home; The gluttonous third one Ate all of the roast beef, So the fourth hungry piggy got none.

Premium Member Refurbished Nursery Rhymes: Old MacDonald or Afoul of Vowels
Old MacDonald had a farm With some noisy critters on it. They mostly mooed, or neighed, Or clucked, or brayed, But some stayed Resolutely mute, I'm afraid. It wasn't his equines, Or bovines, Or fowls, Or anything lodged in his barns or corrals, But a couple of rather recalcitrant vowels. The "e" and the "i" and the "o" Answered the call, While the "a" and the "u" Stayed conspicuously AWOL. ...

Premium Member Refurbished Nursery Rhymes: Old Mother Hubbard, a Cautionary Tale
When Old Mother Hubbard Examined her cupboard And found not a scrap there to munch on, Not one morsel that clung To an ort or a crumb, She felt foolish and dumb And stood sucking her thumb While her dog, Butch, got nothing for luncheon.

Premium Member Refurbished 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...
