When You Get Mother Goose Drunk

Little Miss Muffet broke her tuffet

While pigging out on curds and whey,

Little Bo Peep sat on the floor beside her

Leaving the spider in dismay.

They talked about lost sheep,

Like that Jack and Jill

Who always run up the hill

Just for a bucket of water,

When they could just steal it

From Old Mother Hubbard

Distracted catering to her dog

Because she didn’t have a bone.

Once she was the wife

Of Old McDonald living on his farm

But he never heard her cries

From all the animals making noise.

Now she lives with cupboards bare

While he get rich from the black sheep’s wool,

Using the money to spoil Mistress Mary

So her garden can grow,

Meanwhile buying all her pretty maids hoes.

I could go on but I will make my point clear,

Perception is deception

When you give Mother Goose too much beer.

ahh you have such a truly brilliant and beautiful imagination my friend.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well thank you so much. *blushing*

This is hilarious & outlandishly creative! Definitely one of your best that I've read so far! I love the way you use rhyme & rhythm, as well as the uninhibited intertwining of various nursery rhymes. The part about Old Mother Hubbard once being wed to Old McDonald reminded me of my oldest sister who used to live on the top of the highest mountain between San Jose & Santa Cruz (Loma Prieta) & her property had dwellings that included two of her ex-hubbies living there with current wives. The whole thing could be spoofed in a similar way, if I can ever get as creative as you are here! *wink! wink!* Fondly, Margie

To much fun! When my kids were small all bedtime stories had a police theme. But this, very witty, you could go wild with this.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you... Reading the Rhymes now have a different meaning then when I was a kid so I decided to make a fun twist with them.
