The Elephant is a Pretty Bird,
It swings from bough to bough.
It builds it’s nest in a Rhubard Tree,
And whistles, like a cow.
(Stephen London, England remembers as "... a Peculiar Bird")
I Went Round a Straight Crooked Corner
I Went Round a Straight Crooked Corner,
I saw a dead donkey die.
I took out my penknife and shot it,
It got up, and spat in my eye.
I Went Round a Straight Crooked Corner (II)
(courtesey of Stephen Tavener of London, England)
I Went Round a Straight Crooked Corner,
To see a dead donkey die.
I took out my pistol to stab him,
So he landed me one in the eye.
One Night, Upon a Stair,
I saw a man who wasn’t there.
He wasn’t there again today,
I do so wish he’d go away.
I Went To the Pictures Tomorrow
I Went To the Pictures Tomorrow,
I got a front seat at the back.
A lady gave me an orange,
I ate it , and gave it her back.
I Went To the Pictures Tomorrow (II)
(courtesey of Stephen of Stockport, Cheshire, England )
I Went To the Pictures Tomorrow,
I got a front seat at the back.
A lady gave me a plain current bun,
I ate it , and gave it her back.
I Went To the Pictures Tomorrow (III)
(courtesey of Stephen Tavener of London, England )
I went to the pictures tomorrow,
And took a front seat at the back.
I fell from the pit to the gallery,
And broke a front bone in my back.
I Went To the Pictures Tomorrow (IV)
(courtesey of Laurence Brenner of Toronto, Canada)
I went to the pictures tomorrow
I had a front seat at the back.
I fell from the pit to the gallery
And hurt the front side of my back.
A fire broke out in the middle of the ocean.
The blind man saw it, the deaf man heard it.
The man with no legs ran for the fire engine.
The fire engine came with two dead horses.
The two dead horses ran over two dead cats
And half killed them
One Fine Day, In the Middle of the Night
One fine day in the middle of the night
Two dead men got up to fight.
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords, and shot each other.
(courtesey of Dave)
One fine day in the middle of the night
Two dead boys got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other
One was blind and the other couldn't see
So they chose a dummy for a referee.
A blind man went to see fair play
A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"
A paralysed donkey passing by
Kicked the blind man in the eye
Knocked him through a nine inch wall
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all
A deaf policeman heard the noise
And came to arrest the two dead boys
If you don't believe this story’s true,
Ask the blind man he saw it too!"
(courtesey of annon via Google)
I never saw a purple cow,
I never hope to see one.
But I can tell you anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one!
(courtesey of peter bates paxos - Kingston Upon Hull, England)
I made myself a snowman as perfect as could be
I thought I'd keep it as a pet and let it sleep with me
I made it some pyjamas and a pillow for its head
Then last night it ran away ...but first it wet the bed
It Was Cristmas Day In the Workhouse

It was Cristmas Day in the workhouse
The rain was snowing fast,
A barefooted man with clogs on
Stood sitting in the grass
It Was Cristmas Day In the Workhouse (II)
(Jennifer.Bergstrom of a Canadian Library service)
It was Christmas Day in the workhouse
One September last July
The snow fell thick upon the ground
The sun shone from the sky
And a barefoot boy with clogs on
Stood sitting on the grass
He spied a house just out of sight
Its walls were whitewashed black.
I also found some with the "barefoot boy/girl/man with clogs/shoes on stood sitting on the grass."

Do you know last night,
At half past eight this morning
A fire broke out in an empty house
And burned all the furniture
