lol those were good....

i have a few of my own i call fractured mother goose

Little jack horner sat in a corner -- time out!

Little bo peep lost more than her sheep when she waggled her tail behind her

Old mother hubbard had no cupboard -- she was homeless

Humpty dumpty had a great fall
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldnt put Humpty together again -- so they gave him prozac

Jack and Jill went up the hill --- to get stoned

Jack sprat could eat no fat -- so he died

The age of innocence is gone, minnie mouse is wearing a thong...
