What nursery rhyme is this

Corkscrewed horny, threadlike wearer,
are you disposed towards appropriation?
You may abrogate obligation to
create a swirl of agitated water
across baked-clay utensils
and furnish porcine mammalians with
nourishing detritus.
Conversely you will be at liberty
to vertically recline
upon a squab
and engage in repetitive performance
culminating in the production of
an equisite line, fold or ridge.
Whilst engaging in the consumption
of indehiscent blushing enlarged
reproductive fruits, together with
white crystal fructose and.....
cream.

no cheating allowed.

hehe, again i fail. i know there's a pig in there and i guess peaches and sugar and that's about it.

You lot are hopeless at Nursery Rhymes......

This was -

Curly Locks! curly locks! wilt thou be mine?
Thou shall't not wash dishes, nor yet feed the swine,
But sit on a cushion and sew a fine seam,
And feed upon strawberries, sugar, and cream!

I knew that, but you didn't want me to play

[grannyjill]

What! What! I never said I didn't want you to play - well, I can't remember saying it anyway - I think I said something about cheating...is that how you knew what this one was, too?

Actually, I was hoping that others might come up with something similar..but, sadly that didn't happen.

For starters, I don't consider it cheating :p Google is your friend . . . and in this case I had to use some ingenious methods to deduce the answer . . . I digress. But what I mean is if you expect me to play, I will 'cheat' because I don't know any of the nursery rhymes here. I know way different ones like:

There was an old something something
that lived in a boot/shoe
that has so many something something do . . .

Ok maybe I don't know any nursery rhymes

[grannyjill]

Of course, you are going to 'cheat'.....I'm pulling your leg (what strange expressions we do use).
I used to do quiz-word crosswords many years ago and made use of any source I could to get the answers (before the advent of the internet)...but, I never considered it cheating. It was an education for me.
