    The lion and the unicorn
    Were fighting for the crown

    But with one final effort
    The unicorn killed the great hairy brute

    Hush a bye baby, on the tree top,
    When the wind blows the cradle will rock;

    The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts all on a summer's day;
    The Knave of Hearts he stole the tarts and took them clean away.

    When good King Arthur ruled this land,

    My faves are #103, #109, #111, and #116. Most of these were pretty funny, though I don't know how some of 'em got past the censor! The one about snow removal --i#108-- could've been inspired by the Highway Dept in East Hogwash, my home town. And #102 is a variation on an old line by the immortal Mae West: "I was pure as the driven snow, until I drifted."

    Here's a few, just for you. If you can't use 'em, send 'em to some poor family. (That's a Dorothy Parker line.)

    Mary had a little lamb
    but home they both did go,
    forced to leave the hospital bed
    by the cheapskate HMO.

    Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall
    and felt compensation was due
    from all the king's horses and all the king's men
    and anyone else he could sue.

    Little Jack Horner
    sat in a corner
    trying to figure out pi.
    The school is to blame,
    since he can't write his name
    and can't tell his arse from his eye.

    My favorites were the one about the tasty guinea pig (#86) and the one about Lizzie Borden (#100). I assume Lizzie was a real person, but I am unfamiliar with the actual events.
