The queen was in the garden, drinking rum and coke <br />The king was in the bank vault, lighting up a smoke <br />The maid was on the golf course, playing with a club <br />Three little men were swimming there, saying rub a dub <br /> <br />The butcher cut up Bambi, smiling as he sliced <br />The baker made a luscious pie, out of human lice <br />The man who dipped the candle sticks burned himself with wax <br />Two people seeking water, fell down in their tracks <br /> <br />Jack ran off to to fix his head and lie down for a rest <br />Jill was left behind to learn, he didn't pass the test <br />She walked back up the hill, to bring the water down alone <br />She passed a girl named Mary whose garden hadn't grown <br /> <br />The girls began to argue, contrarily they spoke <br />Mary stole the water, Jill went home to mope <br />Flowers drank the water, the queen had rum and coke <br />While no one was watching, the world went up in smoke <br /> <br /> <br />© 2010 JVD<br /><br />Jane Van Doe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fractured-rhyme-rhyme-rhyme-rhyme-rhyme-rhyme-rhyme-rhyme/
