“Humpty Dumpty
Sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty
Had a great fall.
All the king’s horses
And all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

Ah-Ha, but could Humpty
Put himself back together?
Could Humpty pick and choose
That which he truly was and not
The glued shell of what another required?

Perhaps his purpose on the wall
Was no longer necessary. Did he learn
All he could see from that point in life
And tumble and roll on to the next aspect
Or in his case, shall we say, roll on to the his next verse?

“Mary Mary
Quite contrary.
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row.”

Why was Mary considered contrary?
Was she
A bit like me
And not so fond of
So-called society?
Did their inconsistencies
Make poor Mary
Oh so very wary
Of what most consider normalcy?
Did this cause her to plant and fertilize
Her character’s garden
Differently than most?
Did her joy in life
Bring blossoms of a different hue
Than those
the other “gardeners” knew?

Nursery Rhymes
Aesop’s Fables
Bring so many possibilities
To the psyche’s tables.
To be dumped in piles
And sifted through.
Silly to some,
Yet containing your you.

If not found there
Expand your
searching looks.
Check into
some other books.
Novels, plays,
perhaps to music
Your drawn.
No matter the method,
Your spirit will sing
When you find
The harmony of your you-ness.

That version is definately food for thought. An adult version to nursery rymes. I like it.

Great Write!

I have to watch out for differentkindofwench.
She has gone on a poetical spree of goodness I'm not used too.

Trying

to



adapt. lol

Nail on the head and you hit it now my head hurts and I need an ice pack! LOL Love it!

Passes Ibuprofen and a drink. Whoops, we could always throw Mother Goose Gone Awry out there if ya need a balancing act............

You are simply Magnificant

And leave poor Mother Goose alone

Huhhhh (big ol honkin' sigh) as you wish, ((((mom))))._

Give Hans Christian Anderson a try instead

we thinks the words come spewing forth. What has mteagle been feeding you?

It does make one ponder though. I've never looked into nursery rhymes like that. Now I'm going to be more astute when I do read.

oooo-hadn't thought of that, hmmmm. I think that would be more difficult to parody him, he was more whole fairytales and stories, like the Brothers Grimm. Must ponder.......

Oh that's a loaded question. This stuff I'm posting is stuff that was written, but couldn't be posted via cell phone. Most of it is reactions to other people's stuff or just ponderings.

Thanks R. There is a book about stuff like this called, "Women Who Run with the Wolves". It's a bit dull at times, but I did force my way through it and I guess it stuck somewhere in the back of my mind.
