Old Mother Hubbard revisited
\nby cricketjeff on August 4, 2009.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nOld Mother Hubbard kept guns in her cupboard
\nHer dog was a Rhodesian ridge
\nShe thought it a trifle to kill with a rifle
\nAnd then store the corpse in her fridge<\/p>\n
She got little thanks from the folks in the banks
\nThat she shot as she stole from the vault
\nShe slaughtered the copper who first tried to stop ‘er
\nAnd cackled it was his own fault<\/p>\n
She found it exciting to bet on dog fighting
\nShe thought being nice a mistake
\nHer Dad couldn’t handle a dynamite candle
\nHe died when she blew up the cake<\/p>\n
And now she lies dying her son had been lying
\nWhen he said he hadn’t a gun
\nHe didn’t much hate her, or just want to bait her
\nBut killing your Mum is such fun!!!<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nThe Challenge:<\/p>\n
Choose a traditional nursery rhyme as a prompt and produce a dark write.<\/p>\n
Well it’s not really dark I suppose, but it was fun to write
