Make a nursery rhyme

Star 
Deadwood trees
like wiggly teeth
uprooting heath
carried off by the breeze–
cloudless sky
So high 
So high


Further than balloons
dissolved in blue
Goodbye
Goodbye





Extra points for darkness. Interested to see what you guys come up with. Big Grin

A nursery rhyme is like a tragic piece of history made into a kids game?


Gather round gather round
Everyone in town
Water washes everyone
Sitting on the ground
Run away run away
The wind comes out to play
Water washes everyone
Catch you if you stay
Peanut butter honey banana sandwiches

Monk in a box-box kite
flying so high
stands on his tip-toes
to embrace the sky.

Toes take a slip
down goes the monk
orange robes frolic and flip
till he lands with a plunk.

Monks below the sight 
burn with delight,
death is just a game
without any shame,
next monk steps in
face one big grin. 



"The third monk to fly was rather cocksure . . . and considered himself to be the best "airman" ever. Up he went in the air, perhaps five hundred feet up. Instead of sliding down into the vee, he straightened up, climbed inside the box kite, missed his footing and fell out of the tail end: one hand caught on the back cross-strut, and for a few seconds he hung by one hand. We saw his other hand flailing vainly trying to get a grip, then the kite bobbed, and he lost his hold and went tumbling down end over end down the rocks five thousand feet below, his robe whipping and fluttering like a blood-red cloud.

The kite was hauled down and examined to see if it had sustained any damage: then I went up again." 


T. Lobsang Rampa "The Third Eye"

The Bathing-Machine Chant


Sea shells on the shore
Fresh fish by the door
Do you want some more?
Door is SHUT.

Old bread on the floor
Jam you waited for
Can’t find at the store
Door is O-PEN.

Ring around the bore
Lion at the door
Oil that you can pour
Door is SHUT.

No one’s keeping score
Seagulls want to soar
Butterflies before
Door is O-PEN.

JUMP!  JUMP!
JUMP!  JUMP!  JUMP!

Here we go round the panopticon
the panopticon, the panopticon
here we go round the panopticon
in a cold remorseless cosmos.

This is how we lost our minds
lost our minds, lost our minds
this is how we lost our minds
in a cold remorseless cosmos.

This is the way we see the end
see the end, see the end
this is the way we see the end
in a cold remorseless cosmos.

Now it’s time to mourn our dead
mourn our dead, mourn our dead
now it’s time to mourn our dead
in a cold remorseless cosmos.

I heard a splish
you heard a splash
a river ain't real
without mud

drip, drip, drop, drop
one in the middle
and one on the top
drip, drip, drop, drop
a lot ain't a little
and it never stops

I heard a swish
you heard a slash
a knife ain't steel
without blood

drip, drip, drop, drop
one on the bottom
and one on the top
drip, drip, drop, drop
you think you got 'em
but it never stops

Lifeboat scuffle

Shuffle shuffle shuffle boat
Try to keep yourself afloat
Left foot right foot
Shuffle shuffle shuffle

Cannot see!
Icy waves crashing!
Left foot right foot
Shuffle shuffle shuffle



You've all exceded my expectations! Here's a present.

This one is my favorite, short and packs a punch. Good show!
