ROSES ARE RED,
VIOLETS ARE BLUE
(I wish I could think
of something new.)

SPRING HAS SPRUNG,
THE GRASS HAS RIZ
(Everybody knows
where the flowers is)

TWINKLE, TWINKLE
LITTLE STAR
(We no longer wonder
what you are)

RUB-A-DUB-DUB
THREE MEN IN A TUB
(Oh, oh!
I think I made a flub)

JACK AND JILL
WENT UP THE HILL
(It was okay,
Jill was on the pill
whoops, should have used
The day was nice and still)

LITTLE MISS MUFFET
SAT ON A TUFFET
(No doubt curds and whey
should no longer be et)

JACK BE NIMBLE,
JACK BE QUICK
(Before the fire marshal
takes away your candlestick)

JACK SPRAT
COULD EAT NO FAT
(And told Miss Muffet
Exactly that)

HUMPTY DUMPTY
SAT ON A WALL
(He was full
of cholesterol)

LI7TLE BOY BLUE
COME BLOW YOUR HORN
(Please don’t read
this poem with scorn)
