NURSERY MIS-RHYMES

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

 

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water

When they got there

To their despair

There wasn’t a pail in sight.

And it’s well renowned

That water flows down

Jack and Jill were not that bright.

 

Roses are red

Your eyes are green

They reside in your head

With a nose in between.

 

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

All his clothes from bow tie to aglets

Got caught in the brambles I seem to recall

 

Roses are red

Your eyes are green

And with their cross thread

They survey every scene.

 

Bert the lairy quite contrary

Why does your red nose glow

With silvery drips right down to your lips

At the sight of three maids in a row.

        ❤️ roses roses are green
        violets are pink
        Chocolates are brown

        Jack and jill went up the hill
        To fetch a pail of water
        Jill forgot to take the pill
        And now they have a daughter

        Multi talented as always
        Super stuff

        Jack and Jill their milk did spill
        The cow did drink as water
        Jill fell down
        The cow did drown
        jack berried him in the mortar 🧱 🤣

        Ok Michael a suprise visit which I hope will remind you of our old days when dusk would then but in and we'd have a great laugh together. Beautiful times never to be forgotten. 🌹 Ps I'm still practicing my silly limericks.

          Yes I remember it well - dear DUsk - did he dissaoear in the sunset?
          Love yours but keep practising - we can all improve. When I look back at past works I usually want to adjust them - never satisfied.
