Nursery Rhymes For A Wild Woman






Snow White

just to make it clear
i am not sleeping with
any of you

Little Miss Muffet




along came a spider
it didn't stand a chance
of sitting down beside her

Jack and Jill




jack fell down and
broke his crown
and jill
well jill decided
to stay up on the hill
and shack up with the other jack
the one who was obsessed with beanstalks



Jack Spratt




jack spratt could eat no fat
his wife could eat no lean
and so between the two of them
they licked the platter clean

the police were called
by mary mary quite contrary
a long long way from tipperary
because of the half starved black cat
who was not permitted to sit  on the mat

  4. Ooh, these are so witty and well done — the snow white tale definitely needed that addition especially in the current environment where consent is finally being understood in its nuances.
