[hometext] => My take on the real stories behind the nursery rhymes we all used to know as children Hopefully it will amuse some of you. One of my more off the wall writes!
[bodytext] => Humpty Dumpty didn't fall off the wall, his lawyer vehemently claimed Poor workmanship the major factor, cited as the cause Loose coping stones could not afford the chance to stay aloft And the warning signs were too discreet, the writing far too small In the lobby, dark with pannelled walls, sat a damsel in distress Little Bo Peep has lost all her sheep, her livelihood in shreds Yet the truth was not what the papers wrote, but a sinister devious twist The lady a fellon, exposed to the world, another insurance scam Georgie Porgie looks out to the world, on a hazy Summer night From the bars of his cell he can do no harm, only carving on the walls In counselling he faced himself and came to find his shame He kissed the girls but none dare speak of how he made them cry The owl is a coach of a swimming club, the pussycat no more The pea green boat now a barnacle home at the bottom of the sea Had they heeded the words of the coastguard on that starry moonlit night They would have retired to a villa in Spain complete with ocean view What ails Jack Horner and his thunderous frame is familiar to wise old Jack Spratt Gluttony chomped on too much Christmas pie and said "What a good boy am I" Now the arteries creak and just like his wife the end is beginning to loom When the last to be swallowed, too early they'll say, is his body into the ground [comments] => 3 [counter] => 317 [topic] => 7 [informant] => puppy_dog_eyes [notes] => Author's note edited per request in Poem Edit and Deletion Requests ~ Moderator_18 Aug 16, 2013 [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
