Write something that has the 'feel' of a nursery rhyme
Do we have 'new' nursery rhymes? I wrote some pieces 'based on' nursery rhymes about 20 years ago. I've added them as examples.

Little Cell Phone

I'm a little cell phone

Long and flat

I have apps

So you can chat

When my battery runs low

I go dead

Plug me up

Beside your bed

Twitter Facebook

Twitter Facebook sat on a firewall,

Twitter Facebook had a great fall.

All the updates and all the security patch,

Couldn’t put Twitter Facebook together again

Second entry:

Blah, blah, Siri

Blah, blah, Siri, have you any brains?

Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!

One for the master,

And one for the dame,

One for the fool

Who lives down the lane.

Blah, blah, Siri, have you any brains?

Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!

Wishes.

Penny for you.

Penny for me.

Into the well,

Our wishes fell.

A star for you.

A star for me.

Across the sky,

Our wishes fly.

Ever for you.

Never for me.

On coin and star

Our wishes are.

A wish for you.

A wish from me.

That you would be

In love with me.

wings within

flutter beautiful

butterfly

hug the wind

kiss the sky

cast your colours

of luminescent dye

with wings to air

like distant sighs

you move me

every pass by

so flutter beautiful

beautiful butterfly.

You Are My Moonlight

Of all the times when I would go out

Shield my eyes from the burning sun

Searching for a glimpse of your face

But you’ve turned and gone away.

You are my moonlight, my dearest moonlight

You bring me joy on the darkest nights

You’ll never know, dear, how much I miss you

Without you I’ll give up the fight.

I will be waiting, forever waiting

To see you running home again

But you’ve gone where I cannot follow

And left me standing behind.

You are my moonlight, my dearest moonlight

You bring me joy on the darkest nights

You’ll never know, dear, how much I miss you

Without you I’ll give up the fight.

You told me once, dear, you’d never leave me

We’d be together forever more

But now you’ve left me and I can’t find you

Please, won’t you take the pain away?

You are my moonlight, my dearest moonlight

You bring me joy on the darkest nights

You’ll never know, dear, how much I miss you

Without you I’ll give up the fight.

In my mind you’re still right beside me

Holding my hand with a bright smile

If you would come back, if just for one day

My shattered heart could feel some peace.

You are my moonlight, my dearest moonlight

You bring me joy on the darkest nights

You’ll never know, dear, how much I miss you

Without you I’ll give up the fight.

Pawlee.

Polly, Polly, up in the air

Polly, Polly, with no one to care--

She takes her loss,

With heartache accost,

And lingers beyond cold stares.

Little Bo-Peep

Little Bo Peep has lost her Sheep

Does not know where to find them

But those lambkins have smart phones

with GPS and maps

but no brains to use them.

Little Bo Peep counted on the sheep

to help win the election

But they liked Humpty-Dumpty more

He promised greatness

and critical thinking was not a must

Little Bo-Peep lost her sheep

She had no one to blame

She was careless, a bit callous too

Sheep need tending

Sheep need assuring

Sheep can vote

But Little Bo-Peep, she lost them.

Hickery Dickery Mockery

Hickery Dickery digital clock

The mouse fell in and was cooked on the wok

The cook cooked on ’til the mouse was done

Hickery Dickery digital clock.

Hickery Dickery midgetal mock

The mouse ran up a smelly old sock

The smell clung on ’til the breath was gone

Hickery Dickery midgetal mock.

Hickery Dickery budgetal block

The mouse was dressed in a young lady’s frock

The dress hooked on and the mouse had fun

Hickery Dickery budgetal block.

Hickery Dickery mickery mock

The mouse went down to the old Albert Dock

The goods were free, so the mouse took one

Hickery Dickery midgetal mockery.

Generation Z

Far away in a distant land.

No screens were present,

and parents had no phone in hand.

Something happened, a turn of events.

Little ones much like you

pots and pans turned to rock bands.

Dirty feet wasn’t just you, no it was

momma and daddy too.

Dinner was ate fresh, everyone bowed their heads.

At night by one small light

momma would read a story before goodnight.

Oh, I long for the distant land.
