Humpty Dumpty

The history (or herstory) of Humpty Dumpty is uncertain. (Many versions are listed here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humpty_Dumpty ) I do agree that the lesson for children is that some changes are irreversible. (Here is an adult comedy with profanity that addresses Humpty Dumpty's fate http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2007/ricky-gervais-humpty-dumpty-p1.php)

So here is the original Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme or lyrics:

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

And here are the original lyrics my son wrote last summer (at aged 10):

Humpty Dumpty worked in a Mall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the Mall's lawyers and all the Mall's men
Had egg for breakfast again and again.

Now the new moral is the big establishments will eat you up!

Hush Little Baby: Lullaby Lyrics

When I was a child, my step mother sang this song to my little brother and sister. I always thought that it was such a sweet melody but I never liked that Momma "buys" a solution. I started singing it this way to my baby.

Hush, little baby, don't cry a word.
Mama's gonna show you a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Mama's gonna show you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's gonna show you a looking glass

And if that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's gonna show you a billy goat

And if that billy goat gets bony,
Mama's gonna show you a Shetland pony

And if that Shetland pony runs away,
Mama's gonna to show you a brand new day.
