So just for a diddle 
May I play and piddle
And then perhaps fiddle
Around with your middle?...

Struggles to slide his trousers on;

Put down the dumplings, my son John....

Are cruising the mall like a barge.
But I, diddle, diddle,
Fit as a fiddle, 
Aim my cane at the middle and charge!...

The husband of anyone fair
They just want to diddle
Someone on the fiddle
Who always wants more than his share...

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!...

Oh twiddle twaddle
Said the  duck with a waddle
I fell off the rock
With a bump...
On my head 
Where a feather once laid
I now have a very big lump


Sing to hey diddle diddle...

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!

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 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

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.

  Municipalities fiddle
Crime goes unchecked
  Voters' nerves are wrecked

Twee-diddly-dum
  Congress sucks its thumb
Inflation soars still higher
  Blue-ribbon committees enquire......

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, hey, Diddle, Diddle
Big run up the middle.
They won in over time by two.
With the Super Bowl win
Dinner is a Prime Rib.
Lose, cold humble pie and stewe.

Hey diddle diddle was a great way to start this rhyme.
We have heard it over and over, like once upon a time.
Nursery rhymes are fun to parrot, they are automatic now.
Whenever I look at the moon, I try my best to find the cow....

super talented frog had magic words like diddly diddle dight
when he did incantations, they always turned out right
we were in awe that he could always make the lily pad light
Amazing in all ways, this wizardly frog, Mr. Froggish McKnight...

many new sights I do see
happy fishermen wave to me
bass jump out of this China sea

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....

Rum tum tiddle
You can fiddle
In the middle
Of the place where you piddle
In a skittle on the griddle 

Rum tum tiddle
It's a brittle little riddle
As you tell your tarradiddle
And we beat a paradiddle
Every kid'll want to whittle
And watch you as you diddle
Mrs. Twiddle....
