Old nursery rhymes - email from Lakshman Karalliedde

I am in my second childhood, that is why the nursery rhymes!

                                                                                                                                     

Mary had a little pig,

She kept it fat and plastered;

And when the price of pork went up,

She shot the little b*****d.

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

 

 

Mary had a little lamb.

Her father shot it dead.

Now it goes to school with her,

Between two hunks of bread.

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

 

Jack and Jill went up the hill

To have a little fun.

Stupid Jill

forgot the pill

And now they have a son. 

Trinity boys version, heard in 1967:-

"Jack & Jill went up the hill

To fetch a pail of water,

Jill forgot to take the pill,

And now they have a daughter." (PGV)

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

 

 

Simple Simon met a pie man going to the fair.

Said Simple Simon to the pie man,

'What have you got there?'

Said the pie man unto Simon,

'Pies, you dumb a**e'!

Simple Simon

Said to the Pie-man

Girls who cycle

Have no hy--n

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

 

 

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the kings' horses,

And all the kings' men.

Had scrambled eggs,

For breakfast again..

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

 

 

Hey diddle, diddle, the cat took a piddle,

All over the bedside clock.

The little dog laughed to see such fun.

Then died of electric shock.

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

 

 

Georgie Porgy pudding and pie,

Kissed the girls and made them cry.

And when the boys came out to play,

He kissed them too

'cause he was gay.

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

 

 

There was a little girl who had a little curl

Right in the middle of her forehead.

When she was good, she was very, very good.

But when she was bad.........

She got a fur coat, jewels, a luxury apartment and a sports car.

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

 

You have to be old enough to appreciate these.

If you don't understand them, it is because you are too young.

That stiff Upper Lip - email from Lakshman Karalliedde

After some time into the journey on a train from London to Manchester , an Australian man unable to bear the silence any longer, takes the unprovoked initiative of conversation by introducing himself to his fellow travellers, and soon starts berating the Englishman sitting across from him in the compartment.

"You English are so stuffy. You set yourselves apart with your self-belief of superiority. You pronounce yourself above the rest of us with your stiff upper lip. Look at me...I'm Australian! I have Italian blood, Greek blood, a little Irish blood, even some Aborigine blood, ......and I'm proud of it. What do you say to that ?"

The Englishman replied, "Awfully sporting of your mother, old chap!"

and the upper lip remained very stiff..!!
