Nursery Crime

by Richard S   Apr 7, 2009


Cup half empty.
Cup Half full.
Baa baa black sheep,
Have you any wool?

Optimist.
Pessimist.
All the world does try.
Four and twenty black birds,
Baked in a pie.

Clouds have a silver lining.
There is a man in the moon.
But when we turn our back,
The dish runs away with the spoon.

    Every cloud has a silver lining.
    There is a man in the moon.
    But when in that moment we turn our back,
    The dish ran away with the spoon.

    The third line doesn't fit for me, your syllable count is a little long, I thought the first two stanzas were great.
