Nursery Rhyme Parody

Nursery Rhyme: There Was an Old Man with a Beard

There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, "It is just as I feared! --
Two Owls and a Hen, four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard."
                           -Edward Lear


My Nursery Rhyme:

There was an Old Man with a nose,
Who cried, "It is just as I supposed! --
Five Squirrels and a Frog, three bees and a Hog,
Have all made their home on my nose."

  1. Ugh. . .that's pretty disgusting! But, then most fairy tales are morbid, so I guess nursery rhymes can be edgy.
