CONFINED: Do NOT read. (Well, maybe you can...) Today, Mother Goose, a shy but quite a clever bird, decided to fess up on what REALLY happened in the nursery rhyme land. Of course, having to speak in riddles and rhyme, she told the whole story from the very beginning. I have written down the poem:
Three blind mice were not very smart, And ran after a human, even though they couldn't see. She cut off they're tails which was very cruel, Then decided to make them suffer, so she let them be.
Well, this woman was old Mother Hubbard, Who couldn't feed herself nor her dog too. So the dog felt neglected and ran away, To live with the old woman in the giant shoe.
Well the old lady already had ten children, And a starving dog she didn't need. She whooped all the kids and gave them some bread, Because all of them she could hardly feed.
Little Miss Muffet was one of the kids, She ran away from the shoe that same day. But when she was eating her special dinner, A spider came down and scared her away.
She ran through Mary Quite Contrary's garden in fright, And trampled the bluebells and little cockle shells. So Miss Mary ran after her in furious anger, And, trust me, it did not go over well.
They frightened sleeping Little Boy Blue, Who finally blew his yellow brass horn, And he ran after them even though he was exhausted, By the cows and through the ripe corn.
He was guarding the cat and the dish ware, So the plate and the spoon saw their chance. They were secretly lovers, so ran off together, And when escaped, did a victory dance.
So back to the hot pursuit of Miss Muffet, Who dragged poor Jack and Jill with her, She escaped from her very angry pursuers, And asked Jack and Jill if they could get her some water.
Humpty Dumpty was sitting on the well, When they came running up the steep hill. He was pushed off the wall and cracked his shell, And died, all because of a bucket being filled.
Well, Jack deserved the crack to his head, And Jill deserved that broken arm of hers. So most are dead, or have cracked their head, And never lived happily ever after.
~Well, I guess that's the truth!
