Funnier Nursery -type rhymes, (7 of 'em) (1) The other old woman There was an old woman who lived in egg-shoes; she had so many colors, she couldn't dye, what to do? She gave out all the colors, and eggs and what-the-heck? she gave each egg a good ol' whack and left the place a Mess! Then came along the children and dogs and cats and friends they each played slippy-slide-ies in all the egg-soup then; the cats and dogs all licked and slurped the mess of scrambled egg; there was't hardly left a drop for no one's hunger went to beg!

(2)Ostara's Priestess Ostara's Priestess went a-roaming for to find a Beau: She asked directions from the rabbit, but he didn't know: The Rabbit showed Ostara's priestess where to find some eggs She cooked them up and the aroma had beaus making legs! and from them all she chose the best, they set off at a run To find themselves a lover's nest and have a little FUN! :)

(3) A Chicken on the Thatch A chicken on the thatch! heave, cluck, Hatch : she popped out such a dandy egg the Goodwife took it down a peg ; and put a pinhole on each end to suck the egg all out and then; Heave, Cluck, hatch! The egg had a new match!

(4) What to do with doughnuts Doughnuts for the RAVENS! Donuts for the BIRDS! They eat 'em, fly to HEAVEN! And drop them back as Turds They fer-ti-lize the Green-er-y and make the place a Scene-er-y Fit for a King and QUEEN-er-y DONUTS are for the BIRDS! (5) Careless hare ( and don't you be one!)... Hares eat groats and snares catch joke-ers who don't Mind their Mam-mee for dashing along before they see~ Where's to go Before they know it, they get All caught Up, Gee!, and then have to won-der how to plea~ For when the hunter who set down the snare has caught the rushed, unwary hare that hunter's got a hot stew-pot and of all pleas, he doesn't care! SO!, Hares eat groats and snares catch joke_ers Who don't Mind their Mam-mee and don't stop to look Be-fore They Leap!

(6)Don't politic at me! :) Political silly ol' crock! Don't worry 'bout tickity-tock you want to run? Go and have fun with other mice (pretend no vice) just don't tell me 'bout your party politic states make me irate a political silly ol' crock I don't worry 'bout tickity-tock. (7)an itsy bitsy... An itsy bitsy jockey climbed up on a horse down to the fairway he guided his steeds' course up to the finish they moved on through the line of all the other horses, and they finished just fine! The itsy bitsy jockey the Winners' circle joined Somebody there the winners' cup purloined! Down, knocked the jockey, the robber on his back for the itsy bitsy jockey, bravery's no lack!

This, That, The Other and Another... My little white cat There once was a little white cat that was a close friend of mine. She was too smart for me, gee!, intelligent all the time; long-tailed, white fur and blue-eyed, my! She was such a lovely feline! But would roll in the dirt to hide her fur from being so whitely-blind and go out of her way to kill rats that lived along the tree-line.

a Song of my Mornings Awake, awake to love and work, where doves all coo and fly! The grass is blessed with diamond dew, the flowers open, shy. All trees bough green as they're wont to do as you o-pen your eye. To live, and live, and live a-gain is one thing I have seen sometimes re-peat-ing now and then times abundant or lean yet always looking out for Love and try not to be mean.

Not oriental-made... Well, doggone!, you bought some cookware from a super-discount store where a very large percent is made in the orient. Surely, save all your receipts-es if your stuff all falls to pieces for you'll find to your dismay can't depend e'en for a day on an oriental-made. (would I buy? I'd be afraid!) All the More reason Why I so much prefer to buy any and all sorts of sundries made in ANY Other countries! Weather Woman Gray-brown hair and smiling lips a warm and healing touch in her finger-tips loves her flowers and their colors bright Trees shelter her house from the full sunlight Whooo-Hooo, WEATHER Woman!, See how far she scry-hi-hi-i's Whooo-Hooo, Weather Woman, She's got monsoon in her eye-hi-high! Storm comes up and she looks deep inside considers whether she should Push the cloudy tide a tornado un-winds and goes back to the sky! Did She do that?, well now I wonder why! Whooo-Hooo, WEATHER Woman!, See how far she scry-hi-hi-i's Whooo-Hooo, Weather Woman, She's got monsoon in her eye-hi-high! None of us mind just a little rain but I seen that woman sling around a Hurricane remember last year? Almost had a drought but she drew the rains to come on back, without a doubt! Whooo-Hooo, WEATHER Woman!, See how far she scry-hi-hi-i's Whooo-Hooo, Weather Woman, She's got monsoon in her eye-hi-high!

Silly Ferrets... As I was eating, had to sneeze (a bit strong is this Feta Cheese) when what to wondrin' ankles nips but four ferrets with six q-tips en route to see the new recruits of ten new ferrets digging boots and shoes and dirty socks and stuff (aw these socks aren't all that tough to steal. Now, gang they said let's go!, we've got a ferretly special show to put on for our human friends here's toys and odds and big book-ends and, see this two-ton pile, here? Every item we'll drag clear and hide it 'neath the humans' bed they'll see it gone and scratch their heads then we'll take each thing big and small into the closet, 'cross the hall, Then move it all Again (hee-hee!)! (They all giggle in ferret-glee) Now help us use these q-tips for propping up the closet door a few more centimeters high oh, that's not working? Wonder why... (because their Human has got wise to furry mischief-making guys!).

Lemming-room for humans There once was told to me a tale of Wesley's family; he raised up was, in Biloxi of 1930's Miss'sippi. Well, times were hard for everyone Money scarce 'n not much fun 'specially in homes so small tweren't more than boxes, y'all. Shotgun houses, there's still plenty Room inside? Ain't Not ANY! Because of this close-lived-in cube most folks don't get along well, rube. Both parents, he, Uncle and Aunt all squoze together find they can't move without stepping on each other which sorely irked young Wes' Mother We git from heah, that be just fine I ain't got Room to Change My Mind!

(the New Jerseyan Goes Back) The last time I went to 'Jersey was only there in name few things were where they oughtta-be and nothing was the same. Go back to where the places-were!, but they won't still all-be-there for you'd like to see where you'd been from (So step on through the door) yet though you might return to them you know can't go home, again but maybe someone there will sing on out an old refrain... When they might gesture and call out "YA MUTHA!" nice and plain!

A Dream of Home, Remembered Today's home-places can't be seen for they've all been destroyed by mean and cheaply, badly done constructions who are only Beauty's destructions. so I retreat back into "me", ... returned "home" in my memory and climb, again, an old oak tree gaze out from up among its limbs on miles of meadows 'til vision swims look down from that high perch, so fair, on little wild rabbits, there and off along the meadows' edge where crabapples have made a hedge a breathtaking glimpse of deer its white tail's up! It bounds from here! I see what startled the deer, then, a badger!, seeking out a den the huge old badger waddles by its wondrous image in my minds' eye With all the meadows' sounds and sights forever in my dreams at night. The Limpopo River in Africa Don't you know the Limpopo It flows like-so don't drain from snow De Limpopo it smoothly flow ...dat's how it go! Bonobos know but dey don't go in de Limpopo Don't swim, you know the fish they flow with de Limpopo (you catch one, so!) and now you know 'bout de Limpopo!

Here's to the doves Here's to my friends who were fine birds, doves no, their lives didn't end, they're living in love I couldn't take care of them well, and gave them away they've moved on to a better home with aviary Their names are Pearl Beloved and Pearl Beauty for any one they'd be a comfort (and they're cute, see?) They're now with a nice fellow, an avian vet where they can have the best of care any bird can get but sometimes I will miss stroking the feathers of these two and the way they laugh-along with you whoo-hoo-hooo! Now, Now...! When a body wants a body with whom for to lie Then a body seeks a body (a girl for a guy) classifieds and fancy-datings and they might each spy on each other's profile-ratings and give their dates a try! If a bod-y meet a body... with whom they love to lie.. Then a Bo-dy treats a body loving with their eyes.. auras, heats and flavors mingle, happily they sigh! how reluctant they are each to...part or say good-bye!

United in love, humans And non-humans No drumming-march dissonant snare let us, for one another, care as do our higher Selves, above may we for one another love each human AND non-human, all United so, we shall not fall.

I'm here Always I'm here, always here, waiting, waiting once in a while elated, elated when you call, as several days before. And then the elation is deflated, deflated back to only waiting, waiting and with that the appetite drops once more. It's a strange state of being, seeing how one has changed, yes strange all for the sake of amore that at times feels unrequited, slighted and other times elevated, elated with small shows of concern from you, once more. For my part I always think of you, love you and I can't help but feel this way seeing, being that I will Love You For Evermore. Flight Dreams My dreams take me on joyful Flight flying on happy in bright sunlight Colors all are rainbow bright I never fall but gently alight Shall I light on your window sill? Come, begin YOUR flight! It's a Gorgeous thrill!

Rhyme of Daisy Darling Ferret Daisy Darling Ferret is a lovely fuzzy lady her heart's twenty-four carat, 'twas a bouncy ferret baby. She has a mis-healed left front hand with which she cannot climb, So we extol her virtues and her talents in this rhyme. O Daisy Darling Ferret is so generous with kisses there's hardly a square human inch of face-surface she misses! And if she cannot reach that, then your whole arm she will "wash" gee, that's an awful lot of loving that she gives to you, by gosh! She runs and rolls and half-bounces, and sometimes even "mimes" But dearly Daisy Darling Ferret simply can not climb. Now Daisy Darlin' Ferret was a ferret Lady, see? her heart's pure golden-carat, in a spirit that's now free. a heart attack had taken Daisy from us and we're blue. Her blithe and cheerful spirit spoke to us, though, and it's true! For only moments after she had ceased to breathe, that day we heard a tiny ferret-bell-like voice say "I'm okay".

Roses' fragrance Give thanks for the fragrance of roses, for, perchance they may only bloom for a day but a day or a week we still always seek their scents, as ever we may! When their beauty has faded they're crinkled and jaded might no longer look like a flower; the last thing to go is the fragrance, you know, for me that's their bestest-loved power!
