What a great idea. A rhyme about nursery rhymes. Lots of fun here Lori, and maybe the glimmer of a Pandora Challenge.


I became a little suspicious when I read about your mode of transport.
A Medical van.


Hmmm!

Why thank you Tom!
Yes - I have participated in this challenge at PK in the past.

It would make for an interesting Pandora, wouldn't it?

Let's make a plan!  :detective:

Tag - you're it!

HUGS!

The words in italics are snippets from nursery rhymes....

Rumpus Revelation

My medical van was nearing Scraff,
a town of rumpus revelation.
For in this place, the little dog laughed,
down on the farmer’s plantation.

The mouse ran up the clock with Clyde,
and all the King’s men did smell.
I met a man with seven wives -
draped with silver bells and cockleshells.

In the big barn, in front of me,
drunken sailors began to dance,
and the fiddles went tweedle-dee;
the captain was a duck at first glance!

In the crazy crowd, who were much too slow,
if the bowl had been stronger, they’d sleep.
Three pigs passed out, and four to go
as I sheared them like flocks of shy sheep.

When they all awoke, at the break of dawn,
they were neither up nor down in their stalls.
Some like it hot in the pot and were drawn,
to the aspirin and trough down the hall.
