Nursery Rhyme

Hey diddle Diddler-

That cat’s a fiddler.

The cows have jumped over the wall?

The red hats just laughed

To see cruelty made sport

While the rich ran away with it all!

Author’s note:

This is my first such Rhyme, but it is just the latest one in the tradition of what we now call Nursery Rhymes.

Those ‘Mother Goose’ rhymes were written as commentary on the social and political situations of their times.

Famines, plagues, noblemen/peeping Toms roaming at night, wars… all were fair game.

Will I write more? Maybe. There are enough topics swirling about, so perhaps I will.

If you write one please add a link below in the comments.
