Edit:
I am very sorry if this thread is inappropriate for the time. It came out of a desire for something easy to understand and simple (even childish).

A wonderous bird is the pelican
His beak holds more than his belly can
and
The turtle lives twixt plated decks,
which almost entirely hide its sex
I think it clever of the turtle
In such a fix to be so fertile.
Both by Ogden Nash
Limerick
There was an old man from Nantucket
Who kept all his dough in a bucket.
His daughter, named Nan,
ran away with a man.
And as for his bucket
Nan tucket!

i forgot the author of this, one of my favorites, but Kieva was kind enough to look it up, Anthony Euwer
As a beauty I am not a star,
there are others more handsome, by far,
but my face, i do not mind it,
for i am behind it..
it the people in front that i jar!
and edward lear's
there was an old man with a beard,
who said "It is just as i feared,
two owls, a hen
three larks and a wren,
have all made their nests in my beard!"

A wonderous bird is the pelican
His beak holds more than his belly can
He can keep in his beak
Enough food for a week.
I'll be darned if I know how the hellican.
And further Nash trash:
The ant has made himself illustrious
Through constant industry industrious.
So what? Would you be calm and placid
If you were full of formic acid?

Paul Gilbert:
I love you, my lord!"
Was all that she said --
What a dissonant chord,
"I love you, my lord!"
Ah! how I abhorred
That sarcastic maid! --
"I love you? My Lord!"
Was all that she said.
Unknown:
'Tis midnight, and the setting sun
Is slowly rising in the west;
The rapid rivers slowly run,
The frog is on his downey nest.
The pensive goat and sportive cow,
Hilarious, leap from bough to bough.

Oy, perhaps someone knows the beginning and end of this one. I only remember middle part that states...
"I see," said the blind man
to the deaf cop.
Something to do with a robbery or something.

Ladies, maybe you'll remember...the skipping rope songs were generally silly verses (same with elastics songs). Does anyone remember any?

Jumprope song:
"Cinderella,
dressed in yella,
went upstairs to kiss her fella,
made a mistake and kissed a snake;
how many doctors did it take?"
