A Better Poem

[Stargazer]

Spring is sprung
the grass is ris'
I wonder where
dem birdies is?

[Ann]

My mother said that I never should
Play with the gypsies in the wood
If I did, she would say
You NAUGHTY girl for to disobey!

My old Grandma used to say that to me!

[maggiebee]

I saw a mouse. Where?
There on the stair
There on the stair right there
A little mouse with clogs on
Well I declare
Snap....... caught the little barsteward

[marval]

When I took my zebra to Tesco
It got scanned by mistake at the till
How I wish I'd discovered the error
Before I'd settled the bill.

[mrs.chappie]

Gness, I typed it from memory. Hope I got it right. My original scribbled notes ended up on the fire, I'd thrown the paper in the coal scuttle.

I did ask Ed if he would email me the original which was of course pulled, but he didn't oblige. In fact, he didn't even reply. The rotter. :o(

Won't let it get me down though. :o)

EDITED (By the Ed):

There's bad peeps, good peeps, oft misunderstood peeps,
Think-they-know-it-all peeps (bangs head against brick wall)...

There's couldn't-give-a-stuff peeps,
And always-takes-the-huff peeps,
Can't-ever-say-enough peeps (I think we've heard it all).

"I'm-always-feeling-rough" peeps,
"I've-really-had-enough" peeps,
"I'm-always-strong-and-tough" peeps (but heading for a fall).

There's sickly sweet and nice peeps,
Gives really good advice peeps,
"I'm-always-so-precise" peeps (I hope you like my drawl)...

Some lonely, ill or sad peeps,
Some "really had it bad" peeps,
Some "always sound so mad" peeps (but always on the ball).

Some outright rude, care-not-a-jot-and-don't-care-what-they-say peeps,
"Don't care if I offend, my friend, I'll say it come what may" peeps,

"My wisdom, wit and repartee beats yours in every way" peeps,
"I'll not give in, not let you win, I'll make you feel so small".

But one thing that's for sure, peeps,
I think it should be said...

There's room for ALL in AB land,
There's even room for Fred.

(Stands back and waits for the "crap poem" retorts, but you get the gist). :o)

Mary had a little lamb
its fleece was black as soot
and into Mary's bread and jam
his sooty foot he put!

[Ann]

Mary Had a Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was dirty black
For everywhere that Mary went
She dragged it on its back.

The trouble was that Mary’s lamb
Was not a real live sheep
But rather, just a cuddly toy
She nicked from Miss Bo-Peep.

MrsC....it's very good. I think Ed was keeping it up his sleeve to make us all sign before granting membership....naughty Ed.

[Ann]

Mary had a little lamb
It ran into a pylon.
10,000 volts went up its bum
and turned its wool to nylon

[maggiebee]

Hey diddle diddle
The cat did a piddle
All over the kitchen floor
The little dog laughed
To see such fun
So the cat did a little bit more

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
The structure of the wall was incorrect
So he won a grand with Claims Direct.

Mary had a little lamb,
the doctors were astounded,
and everywhere that Mary went,
gynaecologists surrounded!

[rosyposy]

at 'uddersfield. at 'uddersfield
there was a cow that wouldn't yield
the reason why it wouldn't yield
it didn't want its udders feeled!

[Ann]

I eat my peas with honey
I’ve done it all my life
It makes them taste quite funny
But it keeps them on the knife!

The night was dark and stormy
The bathroom light was dim
I heard a crash, I heard a splash!
Oh Gosh – he’s fallen in!

Little Boy Blue,
Please cover your nose.
You sneezed on Miss Muffet
And ruined her clothes.
You sprayed Mother Hubbard,
And now she is sick.
You put out the fire
On Jack’s candlestick.
Your sneeze is the reason
Why Humpty fell down.
You drenched Yankee Doodle
When he came to town.
The blind mice are angry!
The sheep are upset!
From now on use tissues
So no one gets wet!

There was a young man from AB,
who sat at the table for tea,
He had sausage and mash,
Followed by corned beef hash,
A carrot, four sprouts and a pea.

[Sparkles62]

Tried there was a young man from answerbank, and just couldn't do it. X

[gness]

Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye.
Four and twenty Abers
Eating G'ness pie.

Ed Gnome was in the garden
Fishing with a stick.
When down came a blackbird
And pecked off his.......pointy red hat!

[shoota]

There was a young man from AnswerBank
Who would answer to the name of Frank.
He wrecked his car,
(Having been in the bar)
Broke the propshaft, dipstick and crank.

Jack, said Jill, I'll get the pill
I think we better ought to
But Jack the clown
would not come down
and now they've got a daughter!

Spring is sprung, the grass is ris, I wonder where dose birdies is.
They say the bird is on the wing,
but that's absoid.
I always t'ought the wing was on the boid.
And, since we're doing Spike Milligan,
Ying tong ying tong ying tong ying tong ying tong yiddle I po
Ying tong ying tong ying tong ying tong ying tong yiddle I po, yiddle I po !

And
Mary had a little lamb,
her father shot the shepherd

Mary had a little watch,
she swallowed it one day.
and then she took some beecham's pills
to pass the time away
The little pills they would not work,
the watch it would not pass,
so if you want to know the time,
You'll have to look up
St Mary's church clock

[grannie39]

Spring is sprung,
The grass is ris,
I wonder where the birdies is
The bird is on the wing,
Thats absurb, the wing is on the bird.
