Nursery rhymes for the modern age
My son Ryan, age 13 months, sure likes his nursery rhymes, but I feel that references to "all the king's horses and all the king's men" are not very realistic in the modern world.
Here are some popular nursery rhymes, rewritten for the 21st century.
Jack and Jill
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill sued the land owner
Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Invaded Iraq, blame it on them
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Product of primordial dust
Or intelligent design
Twinkle, twinkle, little stars
How we use you for our cause
There Was An Old Woman
There was an old woman
Who lived in a shoe
She had so many children,
She didn't know what to do
She gave them some broth,
Without any bread,
Whipped them all soundly,
And got sent to jail
Hey Diddle Diddle
Hey Canada's farmers
You Albertan charmers
The cow got mad cow disease
Americans laughed
And gave us the shaft
Our cattle, their agents did seize
Mary Had A Little Lamb
Mary had a PlayStation,
PlayStation, PlayStation
Mary had a PlayStation,
With lots of video games.
One day she bought GTA,
GTA, GTA,
One day she bought GTA,
Hot coffee everywhere.
