Nursery
Corner
1.
Mary
had a little print,
Its
whites were white as snow,
The
other tones were black as soot,
Why
Mary didn’t know.
She
took it to the EPS
Upon
the Critics Night
They
told her what to do with it
(She
thought them impolite.)
2.
Where
are you going to, my pretty maid?
To
pose for the Major, Sir, she said.
Will
it be “Figure” my pretty maid?
Yes,
if he asks me, Sir, she said.
3.
Paterson,
Paterson, Contax man,
Make
me a print as fast as you can.
“Sorry
old chap, that just can’t be,
I’ve
made my print for ’53!”
4.
James
Scott fellow fine,
Can
you shoe this horse of mine?
“Yes
I could but I don’t
wan’ta
I’m
busy with my wee Ikonta.
There’s
the tools upon the shelf
Go
shoe the blasted horse yourself!”
5.
Sing a song of sixpence,
A
pocket full of spools,
Five
and twenty ramblers
Dressed up like silly fools,
When
the clouds were opened,
They
all began to wring,
While
Bob Strathdee with shouts of glee,
Was seen to dance and sing.
6.
Hickory, Dickory “Doc.”
In
a sense you’re our “perishing rock”,
For
the sensors declare
“He’s
immune, he’s THE CHAIR” ---
And
they’ve put our lampoon into stock.
7.
Eeny meeny miny, Me,
You’d
be surprised the things I see.
Eeny
meeny miny, You
Had
best be careful what you do!
For
everything you do or say,
In
club-room or by greenwood tree,
May
well appear in print one day, …!
Beware
of miny Meany Me!
