If I were some people, I'd harbor a grudge Against Fate for making Me live like a drudge. Poor Peter Piper. His life is a wreck From years picking peppers Peck after peck. And the lady who sits By the shore of the sea Selling sea shells all day-- How bored she must be. And Mrs. Pumpkineater In her pumpkin shell, Living with a pumpkin's Nauseating smell. How about the lady Who lived in a shoe. With her children in bed, She might rest too. She tried tucking them in And tying their laces. But their tongues and their eyes Were not in their places. So she cried out for help From old King Cole, Who said, "Woman, you're damned. Look after your sole." |

Fantastic! I wish I had the sort of mind that you do to write things like this! Yours ticks along so cleverly! (mine just kinda floats around and stops in to say hello now and then  ) You've got great style! ------------------ "Tread softly, for I have spread my dreams under your feet"~~William Butler Yeats |

Well, how 'bout Cinderella who blatantly chased that fellow? She demurely tossed a shoe to get a chance to woe. And Little Miss Muffet sitting on that tuffet, Stuffing her face with whey. The verse could be worse if it revealed ... just how much she weighed! And Little Boy Blue tooting that horn ... no wonder he fell asleep. Now he's in the unemployment line for failing to count his sheep ! Old Mother Goose is a strange old bird ... but the stories she keeps are the best I've heard. -------------------------------------------- *Dom - Thanks for the inspiration and a chance to *play* ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com [This message has been edited by Marge Tindal (edited 11-14-1999).] |
