    I'm leaving london after 2 years and thought I would print a book of rewritten British nursery rhymes as a bit of a "good bye" london....
    There are some average ones here but thought people might be up for suggesting improvements, pointing out their favorites or even suggesting their own re-edit.
    What do you think?

    Ring a ring a Rosie, a pocket full of Xanax®
    Doctor Foster went to Gloucester, on the District line
    Georgie Porgie, pudding and McFlurry®
    Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack Jack switch flip the double set
    Mary had a little bag, it's contents was white as snow
    Peter Peter pre-nup seeker had a wife and could not keep her
    Simple Simon met a pieman going to Sainsbury's
    There was a crooked dude, who skated a crooked board, he found a crooked bench, and did a crooked grind.
    Three blind mice. Three blind mice. See how they run. At the special olympics.
    Jack and Jill went down the ally way
    Old McDonald had an empire
    Here's the Church, Here's the Steeple, Open the door and see all the douche bags.
    Hush a bye baby, I'm just going to the off license, when the bell rings buzz me in.
    Lady bug, lady bug fly away home you left the oven on and your kids are smoking crack
    Little boy blue come and blow your load
    Little miss Muffet sat on a park bench eating a Big Mac® and fries
    Seesaw Margery daw Johnny shall have a new Playstation 3
    Sing a song of six pounds a pocket full of receipts
    Old brother Hubbard went to the off license to top up his oyster card
    Little Jack Horner stood on the corner selling his cocaine and hash

    one error there..... updated below:

    Three blind dudes. Three blind dudes. See how they run. At the special olympics.

    with things like

    "Three blind mice. Three blind mice. See how they run. At the special olympics."

    I doubt will make it to proper print, will just be blogged on here and at best run off your printer at home and eventually you'll bin it. I consider it so ephemeral it wont even get that far and its already a mute noise in a blog article that will soon drown into digital nothingness.

    it's not planned to be "proper print".. i was just going to do a few copies through http://www.blurb.com/... maybe with illustrations...
    Three blind dudes.. not mice...

    • I think your missing the point. There's nothing funny about a creative mocking the blind.thatblokemike

    Solid illustrations and sober editing could turn it into a solid project.
