A SELECTION OF NURSERY RHYMES with an alternative twist by local poet, Alda
Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, fell on his head and started to bawl. All the King’s horses and all the King’s men woke up and shouted “Oh no not again! We’ll take down the wall for its far too tall.” But Humpty Dumpty started to bawl. So all the King’s horses and all the King’s men Went off to check with the palace again. “That boy” said the King, “is a notable bawler, He’s down in the books as a regular faller. Build him a wall just three inches tall!” So all the King’s horses and all the King’s men Built Humpty a beautiful wall again. It was six feel long and three inches tall. But Humpty Dumpty tripped on the wall, Fell on his head and started to bawl!
Alda See Saw, Margery Daw
See saw, Margery Daw went up and down with big Mrs Brown.
ONCE!
Then Margery Daw flew up in the air,
Three Blind Mice
Three blind mice, three blind mice. That makes six brim full of tricks. They all ran after the farmer’s wife, they bit off her toes and boiled them with rice. Did ever you have such a meal in your life?
Six blind mice, six blind mice. That makes twelve, playing on the shelf. The farmer knocked them all down on the floor then gathered them up and divided by four, Three blind mice.
Alda
caught in a tree and dangled there. Big Mrs Brown went up into town and came back down in a bright new gown,
which Margery Daw never would see, saw
Margery Daw,
dangling there, high in the air. See saw, Margery Daw. See. Saw.
Alda
