All around the mulberry bush
The weasel chased El Rushbo
The weasel thought 'twas all in fun
Rush popped the weasel!
( Don-o is pinged because he's our Most Reluctant Poet. He secretly wants to compose a rhyme. He needs encouragement. He needs the self-confidence only we freepers can give him. Inside his soul lurks a Shelley or a Keats. Mother FReep knows he's teetering on the brink of posting a winner.
Don-o for FR Poet Laureate!
(.......you can do it, don-o! )

I've got my first line
Mary had a little deer...
Alas, the Muse has ceased moving. Please be patient. And if anyone wants to appropriate that first line - go for it

"Who ate her Wonder-Bra brassiere..... Yah - that's the general direction I was going. Let's collaborate.
Mary had a little deer
Who ate her Wonder-Bra brassiere
Her lamb looked on in great alarm

Don't think of it as a poem, think of it as five bucks for FR. A place that gives you hope and a future.
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt,
His name is my name too.
Whenever we go out,
The people always shout,
There goes John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt.
Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah
OK, remember, it don't have to be good to be worth 20 bucks.
John Edwards Isfulluv Schmidt
He sure has a fine hairdo
he paid four hundred dollars, it's true
Whe he walks by the place people always sit,
They say there goes John Edwards Isfulluv Schmidt
Do do do do, the Dhue dhue dhue dhue That has to be the worst I have ever seen!!
Oh yea, ca I please have some cinnamon:
The words of the Nursery Rhyme, 'John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt ' originate in the USA and possibly reflect the enormous numbers of German immigrants at various points in American history. The surname Schmidt and the surname suffix -heimer are of Germanic origin. It is a favorite rhyme of children and often referred to as a 'Bus Song'. The pseudo-German word 'Jingleheimer' was probably used to mock the longer names often found in this language.

Great rhyme about my favorite lawyer who's so good the ambulances chase him!
Dhue, your deliciously inventive poem (based on the oldie "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt") is definitely in the running for Best Nursery Rhyme because of it's great word-play. You also tackled a difficult nursery rhyme to parody.
Rack up 5 more dollars for the FReepathon....and many thanks to you, "do the dhue", for all you duh, duh, duh do!

Well, fellow Bards, I have to hit the road to St. Ives for now.
Mother Freep has to clean the barn and feed the cow.
I'll be back tonight and hope
There'll be lots more nursery rhymes for me to scope.
Y'all did exceptionally well this morning. The FReepathon and your lil 'ole Mother Freep thank you for your unselfish efforts and your unsurpassed talent!
