Random thoughts 1...

I don't know why this came to my mind earlier, but it did....

When I was younger (like a young teen or almost that age), I like the idea of switching some rhyming words in nursery. One of my favourites, because it gave me a laugh, and still does is:

Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,
Oh wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?
The king was in his counting house counting out his money,
The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!

Which becomes:
Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of pie,
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a rye.
When the pie was opened the birds began to king,
Oh wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the sing?
The king was in his counting house counting out his honey,
The queen was in the parlour eating bread and money
The maid was in the garden hanging out the nose,
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her clothes!

Of course a few minor changes in small words can make it funnier - but I'll let you figure that out.


Also on the topic of random thoughts....
It is pretty well known that the vampire Dracula is straight; he likes to suck blood from women's necks....
So what does a gay vampire suck? and from where?


Ok, pulling my mind back out of the gutter and back to work - oh look a sewer....

  1. Funny that you switch words around. My honey's family has made up words for everything. Nothing is actually called its proper name. And each person has their own little cute (well, they think it's cute, anyway) name. I hate it.
