My nursery rhymes

I took nursery rhymes and put my own twist on them.  Like Old MacDonald.  I made four of those.  I'll show you one~  They're all really stupid... I'll show you my morbid Old Man rhyme instead.  You know?  The knick-nack-paddy-wack one?  Anyway, here it is.


this old man 
he played one 
he played knick-knack on my gun 
with a knick-knack paddy-wack 
why should I behave? 
this old man rolled straight to the grave

this old man 
he played two 
he played knick-knack at the zoo 
with a knick-knack paddy-wack 
the wolves tore him up 
they’re gonna feed him to their pups

this old man 
he played three 
he played knick-knack on a tree 
with a knick-knack paddy-wack 
wasp nest on his head 
it wasn’t long before he was dead

this old man 
he played four 
he played knick-knack on the door 
with a knick-knack paddy-wack 
kick him in the head 
this old man went rolling dead

this old man 
he played five 
he played knick-knack to survive 
with a knick-knack paddy-wack 
I stab him in the throat 
then fed his body to a carnivorous goat

this old man 
he played six 
he played knick-knack and broke some sticks 
with a knick-knack paddy-wack 
beat him ‘bout the head 
and tell police he was already dead

this old man 
he played seven 
he played knick-knack to get to heaven 
with a knick-knack paddy-wack 
tie him to a rock 
and use him as a live road block

this old man 
he played eight 
he played knick-knack to celebrate 
with a knick-knack paddy-wack 
beat him with some pluming 
to get him to shut up about the second coming

this old man 
he played nine 
he played knick-knack on my sign 
with a knick-knack paddy-wack 
I took him for a ride 
and my blade left him in the woods to hide

this old man 
he played ten 
he played knick-knack in the food bin 
with a knick-knack paddy-wack 
they tied him to a stake 
and after awhile it was him they ate
