     Little Bo Peep

The stern dedication of Little Bo Peep
To the sheep in their various sizes
Has yielded a number of trophies to keep:
A shelf full of Woolitzer prizes.

She netted an Oscar for tending her flock
On the night of the Sheep Herder's Ball
Accepting the prize in a little wool frock
A couple of sizes too small.

Fee fie foe fan
I smell the food of an Anglican
And thus away I fly
To eat some steak and kidney pie.

*************

Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece is pale chartreuse
It weighs about a kilogram
And bleats like Dr. Seuss.

Mary had a little lamb
She fed it castor oil
And everywhere that lamb did go
It fertilized the soil.

*************

Little Boy Blue is not in his wagon,
Whose roof is so leaky and springs are so saggin'.
Is he under the haystack and fast asleep?
Or is he out chasing Little Bo Peep?

**************

There was an old woman who lived in a boot
With a conical roof like a big bumbershoot.
The design was original Frank Lloyd Wright
With the instep floodlit, though only at night.

You ask of her kids: she did have a selection,
The nicest ones born by Caesarian section.
Which, according to kindly old Dr. Sparks
reduces the risk of those blasted stretch marks.

****************

Peter Peter pumpkin eater
Quarreled with better half Chiquita.
All around the house they swerved
Can this marriage be conserved?

********************

There was an old woman who lived in a suite
Of shoes which were cobbled for oversize feet.
Since some of her rooms were quite down-at-heel
Her assessment was dropped by the board of appeal.

****************

He rode a bike to see his chick,
Unlucky Davy Crockett.
His right pant leg was rather thick
And wound up in the sprocket.
