A slice of silliness …

Pat a cake pate a cake baker’s man

Make me a cake or make me a bun

Or even a muffin or maybe a scone

And give me a call as soon as it’s done

.

As I was going to strawberry fair

I met some people going there

Come along with us they said,

our picnic you can join and share

.

Simple Simon met a pie man

struggling up the hill

Cart piled high with scrummy treats

He bought a sausage roll.

.

The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts

With jam and fruit and cream

And sandwiches to die for

With cheese and fish and ham

,

Polly put the kettle on

to make a cup of tea

Sukey took it off again

Then hid behind a tree

.

Sing a song of sixpence

A pocket full of sweets

Chocolate ones and fruity ones

And lots and lots of treats

.

Rain rain go away

Come back in half an hour

By then our food will all be gone

And you can have a shower.

.

One two buckle my shoe

It’s time to leave for home

Fold the rugs and grab the chairs

Another picnic done!

    This is like a surreal weaving of children’s rhymes that would work even if every stanza wasn’t brilliant in its own right, Keith.

      I wondered if the nursey rhymes I based each verse on would make sense to those from beyond my shores, so I was relieved to read your response! Thanks, David.

    pussy cat pussy cat
    where have you been
    i went with keith
    to see the queen
    pussy cat pussy cat
    what did you there
    keith frightened
    the little corgi
    under the chair
    the guards came
    and took him away
    now keith’s in the tower
    writing a play:)

    “RaIn, raIn, go away” and little Tommy I always identified with growing up on the farm. Of course I wanted to go outside to play.
