ADVERSARY RHYMES 13, 14, & 15

ADVERSARY RHYMES 13 14 & 15

 

 

Georgie, Porgie, biscuit and crumb

Had an itch and scratched his bum

And when he wagged his index finger

All the girls refused to linger.

 

 

Daisy, Daisy,

have you a turnip or two?

I’m half crazy all for the love of stew.

It won’t be a stylish dinner

but I know it’ll be a winner

and oh what a treat

to take a seat

at a table that’s set for two.

 

 

Diddle diddle dumpling my son Fred

Climbed the stairs to his girlfriends bed

But when he got there he found she had fled

Diddle diddle dumpling my son Fred

  • Comment from author about the poem: How mant can remember the old nursery rhyme/music hall song 'Daisy Daisy'? I can remember my Dad singing it when I was still a toddler in the days when I had my first bike and Mum and Dad rode a tandem. A bygone era.

    Some cracking fun Adversary rhymes Michael. I was singing along with all the tunes (the neighbours weren't too pleased).

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks Andy - Orchi wasn't with you was he?

    • orchidee

          Nice way to start my day off with a smile Michael. Thanks for sharing.

          Ohhhhh MICHAEL you have excelled with your ABSTRACT this morning ! I am a SPEILOGGER (Potholer) and it revived scary memories ! I am the man in white in the RHS lower corner ~ dwarfed by the rock in the cave ! My only escape to Terra Firma is by a system of fragile and loosely attached rope ladders ~ Thanks for scaring ! I love the RHYMES ~ parodies of Nursery Rhymes ~ sont tousjours amusant ! My fave has to be DAISY ~ DAISY ~ my brother and I had a TANDEM "At length it arrived at length" Please check my second Teddy Bear POEM ~ I have written it from a Male perspective because I am old enough to know all the YANG things that are a turn-off for YIN ~ it will always be so ! Yours BRIAN

            Ha ha - fun reads to finish my day Michael and hey I remember all those ditties with of course different words.

            • Michael Edwards

              Remembering the words makes me feel quite old - I wonder if todays children know them - must ask my grandchildren.

            • Jooles

              • Michael Edwards

              • FredPeyer

                I remember #3 quite distinctly, even though it was a long time ago. Never could figure out why she fled!
                Your brother in crime, Fred.

                • Michael Edwards

                  I wondered if you would. Did you enjoy the dumplings? In fact do you have dumplings in America? Thanks Fred.

                  • FredPeyer

                    I can get ready-made German potato dumplings in California.
