Twinkle Twinkle

[Lote-Tree]

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
I know now what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a hydrogen-bomb in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
I know exactly what you are!

[TheFifthElement]

Cheeky!

How about :

"I now know just what you are..."

Fits the rhythm of the rhyme better (I'm such a Mum!)

How about parody thread for poetry ? :D

Sounds like fun, but perhaps not quite contraversial enough for you!

I actually have a fantastic book of parody nursery rhymes, that were written for me when I was about 7 years old, by the man who ran the trampoline section in Cleveleys where we used to go on holiday. He was a lovely guy. Here's a couple I can remember:

Mary had a little lamb
her Poppa shot it dead,
but every day it went to school
between two lumps of bread.

Jack and Jill ran up the hill
to fetch a custard pie.
Jack squashed it flat, said Jill
'take that' and slapped it in his eye.


I'll have to find it (can't believe I don't know where it is) and post some more.

I have not noticed that I am these things :D

Lote-Tree, I think Twinkle Twinkle is an apt name. This was wonderful. If you don't mind.

Mary had a little lamb
the doctor was surprised
and so was the lamb.

This shall be the official Poetry Parody Thread :D

[TheFifthElement]

I think it has been hijacked.

Here's another couple from my book:

Twinkle, twinkle little star
how I wonder what you are,
through my window pane you peep,
go on, buzz off, I want to sleep!

and

Baa baa black sheep,
I wish that you were white,
I can see you in the daytime
but I lose you in the night.

I know of a few parody nursery rhymes...

For example;

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Eyed the girls and had a ball,
Lots of whistles, even a catcall,
Thus... Humpty had a great fall!

Then came the cold winter breeze
and Humpty's arse began to freeze...
though winter's sure to be a dreary thing...
Let's wish Humpty a bouncy spring!


Mary had a little lamb,
The news made every front page,
With pictures of her being taken to jail,
Cause you see, he was under age.


Georgie Porgy Pudding and Pie,
Kissed the girls and made them cry.
And when the boys came out to play,
He kissed them too – he was funny that way.
