I was born at a very early age, and went to a very 'Posh' school in England, where we were taught Nursery Rhymes in 'Queens English' (Actually, at that time it was 'Kings English') LITTLE JACK HORNER Dimuntive John Horner was seated at the confluence of two walls, partaking of a delicious pastry. Inserting his prime digit, he withdrew a fruit of the family 'prunus' Exclaiming 'What a prodigious child I am!' THE OLD LADY OF CLYDE There was an old lady of Clyde, Who ate a bad apple and died. The apple fermented inside the lamented, And made cider inside her inside. Such memories, remembered for over 60 years !!!! Grass won't grow under feet that don't move. |

Music Maker, I can see why sunnyone would love you.I'm not sure whether I preferred the Jack Horner one more or the cider inside her line. Both made me chuckle. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Thank you Seymour and Kethry - As you can now see, I am no poet, but an entertainer!!! If I could write such beautiful words as found in this forum, I would designate myself as a Musician/Songwriter. Sadly, I remain a musician !!!!! John Grass won't grow under feet that don't move. |

Thanks to everyone for their comments. Its nice to give 'smiles and chuckles' rather than 'Doom and Gloom', and I will continue to post the more amusing type of non-poetic 'rubbish' here, for so long as it just makes someone smile !!! John Grass won't grow under feet that don't move. |

Thank you Noah, It just makes me wonder - The word 'limerick'? Its a town in Ireland,and I wonder if the first verse in this meter and in a funny vein was written there. Or was Limerick the town called that, because its inhabitants walked around in poetic mode all day? - The mind boggles, especially at this unearthly hour on a Sunday morning. Kind thoughts, as always, dear friend, John Grass won't grow under feet that don't move. |
