This Is the House That Jujy Bought (Mother Goose Revisited)


This is a pile
That lay in the house that Jujy bought.


This is the tub
That used the tile(!!), stacked in a pile,
That lay in the house that Jujy bought.


This is the pot
That matches the tub,
That used the tile, stacked in a pile,
That lay in the house that Jujy bought.


This is a shoe
That was scrubbed in the tub, all hideous pink,
That matches the pot (and also the sink),
That used the tile, stacked in a pile,
That lay in the house that Jujy bought.


This was a log that was left by the dog,
That got the shoe all covered in poo,
That was scrubbed in the tub, all hideous pink,
That matches the pot (and also the sink),
That used the tile, stacked in a pile,
That lay in the house that Jujy bought.


This is Jujy, cursing and hot!
'Cause she stepped on the log that was left by the dog
That got the shoe all covered in poo,
That was scrubbed in the tub, all hideous pink,
That matches the pot (and also the sink),
That used the tile, stacked in a pile,
That lay in the house that Jujy bought.


This is the yard, with many a tree
That brings peace to Jujy, though cursing and hot
From scrubbing the filth off shoe, tub, and pot,
Who stepped in the log left by the dog,
That got the shoe all covered in poo,
That was scrubbed in the tub, all hideous pink,
That matches the pot (and also the sink),
That used the tile, stacked in a pile,
That lay in the house that Jujy bought.


This is the family, content as can be
That loves their new yard with many a tree,
Where it's peaceful as far as the eye can see,
(riddled with poo, though it may be)
That surrounds our new home,
That we all love a lot,
That brings joy to Jujy (not cursing or hot),
Who scrubbed the filth off of shoe, tub, and pot
When she stepped in the log left by the dog,
That got the shoe all covered in poo,
That was scrubbed in the tub, all hideous pink,
That matches the pot (and also the sink),
That used the tile, stacked in a pile,
That lay in the house that Jujy bought.

Altogether too creative and funny. And you weren't kidding about the hideousness of the bathroom colors or state of cleanliness. Yikes!

But, that makes everything you do all the more spectacular. Just call me Silver Lining Mole.
