Thanks, tailor STATELY! I liked the "wiggles" and "giggling" of the plum tree in your poem.

A Tiny Nursery Rhyme for the New Millennium (Inspired by Biggus):
Three blind mice,
Three blind mice:
Their prospects aren't so lame.
They all got jobs as umpires
at a Major League Baseball game.
so long it was
so long it went
it,
never meant to be

it may never try
but when it does it sigh
it is just that
good
it fly
Timeliness
The hero came a little late
And evil had no time to wait.

without a doubt
carry a thought
and it shall carry
your pensive words
above all else
it may never try
but when it does it sigh
it is just that
good
it fly
I had a little bird,
It’s name was Enza,
I opened the window,
And in-flu-enza.
A children's song about the Spanish flu, quite ingenious if you ask me..
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past - The Great Gatsby
Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice - Polonius (Hamlet)

And landed on my head.
It came to me,
And now I'm dead.
Morbid as it is it was actually sung by children (still hard to believe), after writing an extensive report on the Spanish Flu I am deeply shocked at how forgotten this huge pandemic really is.
I also have a little rhyme about the Plague:
Ring around the rosies
A pocketful of posies
Ashes, ashes
We all fall down
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past - The Great Gatsby
Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice - Polonius (Hamlet)
This is a common one in the UK. In the UK form it is:
Ring a ring o rosies
A pocketful of posies
Atishoo, atishoo,
We all fall down.
I think I've herd your version too.
It is recited in schools and played in platygrounds.
Posh Tart
I’m Lulu-Beth De Montfort
and I sport an ancient name;
it don’t do me no favours though,
not when I’m on the game.
The John’s don’t ask your pedigree
when cruising for their sport
and if they knew how posh I am
I guess I’d come up short.
A lineage so prominent
is neither here nor there,
when lurking in a doorway
with peroxide tinted hair
Me fishnets are all laddered
from the traffic up and down,
and as for knickers - not much point
around this part of town.
Me ankle-chain and piercings
augment me bold tattoos,
they add an air of mystery
along with f*ck me shoes.
I’d make a solid living on these
backstreets round the docks;
me pimp takes all the money though,
and stuffs it in his socks.
Clouds
A cloud collided with another.
The big one swallowed up the other.

Before sunlight can shine through a window, the blinds must be raised - American Proverb
There was a little mouse
who nibbled lots of cheese
till the cat of the house
mewd "I'll eat you if you please"
So he caught the plump mouse
and gnashed his tasty platter
now the master of the house
is called Cropwell Bishop Fatter.

Freezing in my Flat
(with apologies to Buddy Holly)
The daffodils have all turned brown
The stink of bluebells hangs around
And it’s freezing, freezing in my flat.
The sun may shine, so much for that
The wind’s still cold, I need my hat,
‘Cause it’s freezing, freezing in my flat.
Turn up the heater, make it glow
A fire risk; I know, I know,
But it’s freezing, freezing in my flat.
Sunlight Fairies
Peeps the ray
From the shutter
A beam flows down
'Tween curtains flutter
Dancing wisps
Along the blight
Like little, tiny
Fairy lights
A surge of joy
A jump, a hop
Wrapping fingers
'round the lot
Hold them close
To my heart,
And never take
My hands apart.
