Bull!
Here's the best poem ever written:


I have two ducks, one blue, one black
And when the blue duck goes Quack Quack
The black duck quickly quack-quacks back!
So while the blue's a quicker quacker,
The black's a quicker quacker-backer.

Back in the 1960s, that third line was "And into Mary's bread and jam".
Anyway, for a followup you can have this one:

Mary had a little lamb
And it was always gruntin'
She tied it to a five-bar gate
And kicked its little c*** in.

(MAD magazine, IIRC)

MAD Magazine? Isn't that doubtful? Or has the magazine gotten more
risque over the years?

My CD set goes up to 1998, and the only references I can find don't
have that version.

Mary had a little lamb
It was one of the largest
They caught her with it late one night
And brought her up on charges.

(and then I wrote:)

Mary had a little lamb
And nothing much besides
She brought it to the county fair
And got on all the rides

For Mary was a clever girl
Both in and out of bed
And the guys who didn't sample her
Took on the sheep instead.

There was a young dancer called Gloria,
Who was had by Sir Gerald Du Maurier
Jack Hylton, Jack Payne,
Jack Hylton again
And the band at the Brixton Astoria.

(You have to be of a certain age to recognize those names)

One from my childhood.

Mary had a little lamb,
A little pork, a little jam,
An ice cream soda topped with fizz,
And Oh, how sick our Mary is.

Mary had a little lamb
But though it was a llama

So she changed for hope
Then hoped to change

The lamb into Obama.

Mary had a little lamb
The lamb, a barn to sit in
But when the little lamb emerged
The President was Clinton.

I don't know. I read someplace that The Late Mr Fine used to recite
that as part of his Vaudeville act before he "upgraded" to being a
stooge. Where he got it I don't know.
