Welcome Poetry Lovers
Dobby and I thought we’d continue our nursery rhyme theme with some more traditional pieces. Clever and wonderful poet, Trisha Broomfield, has come up with a hilarious rewrite of this classic.
Do read on

Ding Dong Dell
Pussy’s in the well
Who put her in

She clambered down
in search of gin.

Who pulled her out?
She climbed the rope

worse for wear
clutching a bottle of stout

Isn’t that a wonderful piece?
Funny, that one always unnerved me as a child, yet there’s far sinister nursery rhymes than that. Thank you so much, Trisha. Great piece.
Now you may notice a certain pattern here. How Dobby gets to take centre stage in all these rhymes, and the next piece is no exception.
This traditional piece really is an odd one indeed. As you will see, the dog is firmly replaced. Read on

Hey diddle diddle
the cat and the fiddle
the cow jumped over the moon

the little cat laughed to see such fun

and the dish ran away with the spoon

Wasn’t that fun?! Any interpretations of timeless pieces are most welcome. Thanks for tuning in, we’ll be back with more Slagg’s diminishing verses.
Great job Trisha ! Great challenge, I will have a think x
