SING SOME SONGS
OF SILLINESS


(Making a little fun of our English 
Nursery Rhymes, I'm afraid)

Sing Some Songs of Silliness

Sing some songs of silliness:

     Of cows that jump the moon?

A dish that ran - whatever next? -

     Accompanied by a spoon?

 

Sing some songs of silliness:

     Miss Muffet on her stool?

And eating what - curds and whey?

     She should have been at school!!

 

A woman living in a shoe?

     Come on now, use your brain.

And all those kids that lived with her?

      Well, was she quite insane?

 

And what of Mother Hubbard then

      Who had a cupboard bare?

And yet, not far from where she lived,

     A Tesco Store was there.

 

To call a boy Little Boy Blue?

     What kind of name is that?

And what a silly name - Jack Sprat -

     Because it rhymed with 'fat'.

 

Oh sing some songs of silliness - - 

     Well, could they get much worse?

Oh what sort of silly poets

     Would write such stuff as verse?

                                                           hmm
