Henny Penny's
in the oven,
soul a-cluck in heaven
Turkey Lurkey's got the baster..
Dinner is at seven
The mulberry bush
provided the wine..
The meal, of course,
shall be divine
Jack and Jill
are coming over...
with bandaged heads
and their dog, Rover
Hupty Dumpty
we'll not fry..
he'll be a luscious
custard pie
Hansel, Gretel...
coming, too
with a jug of witch's brew
No chicken bones for dogs,
not that...
Miz Spratt shall have to
share the fat
We've not
forgotten
Puss'n'Boots...
he'll feed on fish
and froggy glutes
Last, not least,
there're now
Two Pigs...
....yes, bacon's curled
'round hick'ry twigs
The baboon climbed the hill
with his sickle tail,
with his sickle tail..
The baboon climbed the hill..
and he's brought the mail.
and he's brought the mail...! !
Here's a note,
RSVP,
from the Princess...
and
the Pea,
'shall arrive
so thick
and creamy....
most delicious....
.....Souped, you see....'
Happy Holidays to all celebrants and families.... the consumers and the consumed.......thanks be..! !
delilah contrapunctal.... yes, that's how I intended to spell it.........

Loved the nursery rhyme theme...i have one, though it is not mine...goes something like this: Jack and Jill, fell down the hill
And scatter-brained their heads,
such careless ways, are in the days,
Of such Happless newleyweds!
Not as good as your's, bandages and all!
Love this write.
Love T. |
