JOSIE'S POEMS

Fun Alternative Nursery Rhymes
for Children


By Josie Whitehead

This is a 'shadow poem', ie parody, of the children's nursery rhyme: Old King Cole - but Old King Cole was a merry old soul and quite the opposite of King Kan.

Old King Kan

Old King Kan was a miserable man

     And a miserable man was he.

He caused his wife both trouble and strife

     And screamed like a wild banshee.

 

A woman more kind you never would find,

    As I think you would surely agree,

But she killed King Kan – ahhh – poor old man -

     And then ran off with the fiddlers three three three

 

            And ran off with the fiddlers, three.
