Nursery Rhyme for Our Times

Hey diddle diddle, The cat’s on the fiddle, The dog’s on the saxophone. Next week there’s a gig With a musical pig Who sings a duet on his own. We’ve a budgerigar Who plays a guitar By tweaking the strings with his beak, He used to be good, Not so good as he could ’Cos he fell off his perch last week. We’re a flexible lot Who play every dot Avoiding the ones that are flat. If you care for our sound Keep sticking around And we can’t say much better than that. Ron Missellbrook, Copnor, Portsmouth.
