Rhapsodies

Well with spring definitely here I decided to inflict another sketch challenge on myself , the theme this time, nursery rhymes!

Now hear me out it’s a lot cooler than it sounds! I happen to own a copy of The Annotated Mother Goose, along with a lot of these serving as commentary for the periods they took place you get a good feeling that a lot of them spent quite a bit of time being sung in bars before they got cleaned up a lot and found their way into a children’s nursery. Most of them are abstract as hell and whatever context they had disappeared centuries ago…. this makes them a CHALLENGE.

Better yet, they’re all listed by number which made it easy to do a random list to throw into the magic tupperware container. This makes this challenge I’ve done yet. I haven’t the slightest idea what I’m going to pull. There is no concept in the container I’m aware of to even look forward to doing! This makes me so pumped I’ve made this my first two month challenge!

So I am taking the first number from the magic tupperware container and getting number 110! Which is…

There was an old woman had nothing.
         And there came thieves to rob her,
When she cried out she made no noise,
           But all the country heard her.

Okay. Maybe this wasn’t my best idea.

There was an old woman had nothing.
And there came thieves to rob her,
When she cried out she made no noise,
But all the country heard her.
