Three wise men of Gotham
Went to sea in a bowl:
Their wisdom was a misconception
They died and that’s natural selection

And all day long you'll have good luck.

A nursery rhyme’s never been writ
That I couldn’t read into it
A whole nother story
Maybe sexy or gory
That I could expand on a bit
Mary, Mary quite contrary
This is what I want to know
With an Adams apple
And the razors dapple
Are you really a girl, yes or no?

Lizzie Borden took an axe,
And killed the man from the income tax
When she saw what she had done,
She went off to kill another one
Form:
It's raining; it's pouring.
The old man is snoring.
We should have changed but instead,
We didn’t and we’ll all be dead by morning

Higgledy Piggledy,
My fat hen,
She lays eggs
Full of Collagen
Good for women,
And good for men,
Higgledy Piggledy,
My fat hen!

The fair maid who, the first of May
Goes to the fields at break of day,
And picks strawberries ripe and juicy
Isn’t a native of this country
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
But so Humpty Dumpty wouldn’t fall
He was sent by the head of human resource
On a three week health and safety course

Little Miss Muffet, sat on her tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey..
Along came a spider,
And sat down beside her,
And said, "is that stuff pro-biotic?

This is the house that Jack built!
This is mortgage on the house that Jack built.

There was a little girl,
Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
No one was to tease
That everyone agreed
As she was the daughter of Herman Munster

Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat
I can’t wait till Christmas to eat some of that
Coz I’m on the Atkins diet and that’s a fact

Little Jack Horner refused to sit in the corner: I may be little, he said, but I have a right to free pie
Rub-a-dub-dub,
Thanks for the grub,
Without the Lord no one would care
The father the son
And the spiritual one
The guardian angels of heavens host
They all make sure the tables not bare
Form:
Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three men in a Pub,
And how do you think they got there?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick-maker,
They can’t remember to tell the truth
And to be honest they don’t really care
Form:
Rub-a-dub-dub,
Margarine in a tub,
Without any butter the table is bare
The crumpets, the muffins,
Bread from the loaf tins
They all need to be buttered thick
For the most satisfyingly simple fare
Form:
Robert Barnes, fellow fine,
Can you shoe this horse of mine?
No, good sir, that I can’t,
Why ever not, fellow fine?
Primarily because I’m an estate agent called Mike
But mainly because that’s a push bike
Form:
What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails
That's what little boys are made of!"
What are big boys made of?
Chips and ales, and chasing girls tails
That's what big boys are made of!"
With hands we hold
With eyes we behold
With nose we smell
With mouth we tell
With ears we hear
With legs we stand
Our body parts are indeed grand

Nursery Rhymes contest by Eve Roper
It's no wonder that old dame knew not what to do,
If she thought she could raise kids alone in a shoe.
She proved after the second
She was overly fecund,
Maybe Mother Goose reckoned she'd have child support, too.
What are little girls made of?
"Sugar and spice and all things nice
That's what little girls are made of!"
What are big girls made of?
"Allure and entice and all kinds of vice
That's what big girls are made of!"
Form:
What nursery rhyme's gayer, I'm asking you, bub,
Than the one that has three grown men sharing a tub?
Was it their sexual orientation,
Or merely water conservation,
And they were all charter members of the Sierra Club?
Danny tell me how are you?
"I am fine Miss. Thank you."
Tell me who all stay with you?
"Dad, Mom and little baby Sue
Granny and Grandpa too"

For Eve Roper nursery rhymes contest
or...Where's the SPCA when you need 'em?
A farmer's wife who was not very nice
Mutilated a trio of disabled mice.
Each squeaked for its life
As she wielded her knife
And disencumbered them all of their tails in a trice.
