Never Do Today What You Can Put Off Until Tomorrow
I purchased a brand new desktop
Quite sure I will use it alot
Still sits in the corner
Like Little Jack Horner
Procrastinate? Certainly not!...

Little Jack Horner
Mother Goose had a mighty fine pie
And Jack Horner she couldn’t deny
When he stuck in his thumb
Mother Goose did succumb
So she left Father Goose bye and bye...

Little Jack Horner
There's a lady that lives at the corner
She reminds me of little Jack Horner
She sticks in her thumb
Right away starts to hum
Suddenly the room gets a lot warmer

Mister Jack Horner
Mister Jack Horner’s
Shop on the corner –
His specials were cakes and pies.
While inspector was looking,
He thumbed in the cooking –
Now his shop is a Starbuck’s franchise.

Dark Nursery Rhymes
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.

Fi, Fie Throe-Thrum
John B. Curtis put the chew in the gum *
Three Stooges put the 'nyuk' in the 'nyum' **
Little Jack Horner stuck his thumb into plum
~ Now who snuck the rum into thrum ***

The Truth About Fairytales – Little Jack Horner
First off, Jacks last name was not Horner
Though, with a pie, he sat in a corner
His real name was Horny
Now this may sound a bit corny
But there’s a reason that he was a loner
In fact, Jack wasn’t so little they did say
That’s why in the corner he’d play and play
He was always alone
With a pie of his own
And he’d chase all his stress then away...

Who Could I Be Not Me
i could be little bo peep
whose lost her sheep
but then i'd always know
where to find them
or little miss muffet
who sat on my tuffet
then came a spider
but it would only run away
or little jack horner
who sat in the corner
and corners are my forte
I've often heard them say
i could be jack or jill
my life goes up hill
and i often tumble
but no-one comes after....

I do not know?
I Spy
I travel all around the world
And I am loved by boys and girls
But when I travel I take no luggage
I am not bogged down by baggage
Like little Jack Horner
I am usually kept in a corner
I wear many faces but I am not a spy
I can be Queen Victoria, or a butterfly
I am almost 200 years old
My many colors include blue and gold
I can be bought and sold
In your hand I can hold
What am I ?...

In the Corner - Nonsense Nursery Rhyme
In the corner
Little Jack Horner
Sat in the corner
Fighting the urge back to cry
His tummy was aching
For what mom was baking
His favorite, a sweet cherry pie
But there he was waiting
His project negating
If only he’d thought first to try
And aim for a door
When he painted the floor
Now he’s stuck there until it does dry

Eco-Friendly
Eco-friendly?
The Prius was so quiet
That none of the kids spied it
As it sped around the corner
And struck Lil’ Jack Horner
The driver didn’t stop
As the kids stood there in shock
Lil’ Jack landed with a CRACK!
And lay unmoving, on his back
Susan Burch
The prius actually is very quiet, so I created an extreme situation to make people think about that, the consequences of eliminating volume in a normal everyday vehicle....

A Tick At Twelve
At a country side,
From a hilly view,
A ramshackle stead stands.
A stead in a plum farm.
Mr. John is a plum seller.
He tills the ground,
He tends the plants.
At the tick of the clock,
At a tick at twelve,
At twelve noon ,
With a lad dragging behind him,
His son,little Jack Horner.
He sets out into the village square.
A rowdy village market.
There,he sells all his plums.
At a tick at twelve?
Yes,at same tick at twelve,
He had sold all!.....
At a tick at twelve....
