A dear little pony named Troy
Was owned by a mean, nasty boy
Who gave him a kick
Or a whack with a stick
Just as well Troy was only a toy.
Old Mother Hubbard did bake,
For her many children, a cake.
They ate it from Monday
Right though to next sunday
And gave what remained to their snake.
An ape who sat high in a tree
Was practicing philosophy
Said I evolved from man
As did all of my clan
We are higher now, as you see.
Doing some sums is a pain
For my poor old brain it's a strain
It's really a sin
For they do my head in
And I mostly must do them again.
My drapes are a beautiful green
A style that is fit for a queen
Each night I'm certain
To ring down the curtain
On darkening skies evening scene.
A stallion was racing one day
When another horse got in the way
The poor stallion stumbled
And over he tumbled
The other horse just said neigh, neigh.
A rabbit went out on the town
Wearing her best fluffy gown
Her strong urge to shop
Kept her on the hop
All day till the sun's going down.
In a bowl was some tasty veg soup
I put in my spoon for a scoop
In pain then I sung
For it scalded my tongue
And it took me a while to recoup.
A man had a very loud wife
Whose tongue was a sharp as a knife
It's hard cutting edge
Could topple a hedge
And wherever she went she caused strife.
Eggs are a mighty fine feed
A dozen or so's what I need
A nice runny yolk
Would please many folk
And it matters, not one jot, the breed.
While England is knee deep in snow
Our sun has a hot, fiery glow
If we could exchange
Just some of each range
We both could be comfy, I know.
A snake in the grass is a danger
A hidden and slithery ranger
A deep wound inflictor
or boa constrictor
so likely to wound any stranger.
A rattler his rattle did shake
Because he was one deadly snake
You must quicky pass
That old snake in the grass
To stand there and chat's a mistake.
N.Z. fire fighters are going
To Aussie where hot flames are flowing
The Aussies have tried
But so many have died
And tall flames just keep right on glowing.
When chilly old winter steps in
My blood feels abnormally thin
Now that I'm older
I hate feeling colder
But still I bear up with a grin.
I am so eager and yearning
To master sign language I'm learning
With my poor old brain
It is quite a strain
I can feel all the grey matter burning.
A lovely new recipe what
On cold days would keep us all hot
Was all put together
In inclement weather
And then the whole stew went to pot.
I bargain for bargains galore
I do love a cheap, junky store
There I would browse
For many long hours
And come out, not bankrupt, but poor.
Desirable price tags are free
There's nothing that gives me more glee
It just does the job
As I'm not a snob
A giveaway's seems great to me.
My hinges are now a might creaky
And sometimes inclined to be squeaky
At winter's cold bite
They put up a fight
But their stiffness prods me to look peaky.
Oh,what a great disappointment
A pain not resolved with an ointment
A plane on the ground
And not skyward bound
Causing a travel disjointment.
A pilot I wanted to be
When I was a girl, but you see
When young I got wed
My ambition was dead
But flying's a great joy to me.
