Rhymes for the Cynical
Little Miss Muffet who sat on her tuffet
eating her curds and whey;
didn’t she have anything better to do
than chomping on food all day?
And Humpty Dumpty who sat on that wall,
why not use a chair?
Why did the King send his horses and men?
It’s clearly a doctor’s affair.
When Jack and Jill went up that hill
and poor Jack broke his crown;
why did young Jill follow him there?
She knew she’d come tumbling down.
The Three Blind Mice that ran around
chasing the farmer’s wife;
why complain at a lack of a tail?
At least you have your life.
Poor Mary with that little lamb
constantly at her flank,
if that were me I’d cook it up -
I love a good lamb shank.
So while as kids we sang these songs,
as adults we just laugh.
Huge spiders, blind mice, eggs that speak?
It’s really rather daft!
