Rhymes at last

I haven't rhymed in a while - used to be that I wrote rhymes galore, but no one needs them now, so I don't. I guess I need to work more of them into the blog...?

Anyway, Mom's and Dad's old folk's home has a poetry group that puts out a book of rhymes. Here are some of my favorites.

Mary had a little lamb.
It's fleece was white as snow,
And everywhere that Mary went
That lamb was sure to go

One day it followed her to school.
The children were agog.
Lambs are not allowed, as a rule.
So why didn't she just get a dog?

Jack Sprat could eat no fat.
His wife could eat no lean.
The doctor said, "Mrs Sprat,
YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR CUISINE!

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
Along with her keys and her purse.
It could be worse- -
She could have had a flat tire.

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet.
It wasn't the day for curds and whey,
So she jolly well ate as she pleased.

OK - I'll start rhyming again. Used to be that I sold rhymes on a web page. I actually made a tiny bit of money that way. It's easier to write rhymes if there is some reason they are needed. Maybe I'll try a web page again....?
