Little Lamb Rhymes

[jqavins]

I thought I'd share a game that the family just spontaneously invented around the dinner table. Just read; you'll catch on.

Mary had a little lamb,
It's fleece was forest green.
She scrubbed, and scrubbed, and scrubbed, and scrubbed,
And couldn't get it clean.

Mary had a little lamb,
Who's fleece was dirty brown.
When Mary tried to sell the wool
The people turned her down.

Marty had a little lamb.
I don't know what they did.
'Cause Marty and his little lamb
Were very often hid.

 

[LW Bercini]

I met a feisty xenomorph
That I didn't like at all
It let a lobster hug my face
Then stuck me to the wall.

 

[BABAR]

Mary had a little lamb

Who’s fleece was black as soot

And everywhere that Mary went

His sooty foot he put.

Note: I think this was from a Waltons episode when I was a kid

 

[BABAR]

That evening, with her blinds pulled, Mary had three helpings of corn, two baked potatoes, extra bread, and a little lamb.

 

[BABAR]

Mary had a little lamb

its fleece was ugly gray

and since they didn’t want any more

the decision was to spay.

 

[Funkworks]

Mary had a little lamb
A little lamb it was
So little was the little lamb
It barely had a fuzz.

"Mary had a little lamb,"
Said Edison in rhyme,
His phonograph preserved his voice
And carried it through time.

 

[jqavins]

Mary had a little lamb,
And Marty had one too.
Mary's lamb was snowey white,
And Marty's powder blue.

P.S. All these lambs live in a fantastical land with the Purple Cow.

May had a little lamb.
She fed it grass and flowers.
The blossoms were enchanted.
Now the lamb has magic powers.

Mary had a little lamb
it's fleece was shiny gold
And everywhere that Mary went
Came Jason and his fold.

Giving credit where it's due:

Mary had a little lamb,
A little pork, a little jam,
A little egg, a little toast,
Some pickles and a great big roast,
An ice cream soda topped with fizz,
And boy! How sick poor Mary is! – Joseph Leff

A collaborative effort:

Mary had a little lamb,
She also had a duck.

She didn't want to eat the lamb.
The duck was out of luck.

(What? How did you think I would finish that?)

Shari had a little lamb
It was her favorite prop
Someone washed their car with it
No more Lamb Chop


Edit: I realized some of you might be too young to remember

Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop, her sock puppet.

Mary had a little lamb
Whose fleece was flaming orange
That’s all I’ll say about that lamb
’Cuz nothing rhymes with “orange”

 

[ThirstyBarbarian]

There once was a lamb from Nantucket

 

[ThirstyBarbarian]

Mary had a little lamb
She got from little Jack Horner
It had an unusual fear of thumbs
And sitting in the corner

 

[OverTheTop]

A friend of mine taught his very young daughter this one:

Mary had a little lamb
She kept it in a bucket
[then quite a long pause]
because it was dead.

Of course all the adults roared laughing at the punchline because they were expecting something else .

 

[Cape Byron]

Mary had a little lamb
The doctors were surprised
But when Old MacDonald had a farm
They couldn't believe their eyes

 

[ThirstyBarbarian]

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet
Eating a nice rack of lamb
Along came a spider who sat down beside her
And said, “Mary is coming now! Scram!”

 

[Cape Byron]

Mary had a little watch
She swallowed it one day
The Doctor gave her Castor Oil
To pass the time away
The Castor Oil refused to work
The time refused to pass
So if you want to know the time
Go look up Mary's Auntie
'Cause she's got a watch too

Mary had a little lamb.
She also had a bear.
I often saw her little lamb,
but never saw her bear.

I'm going to say, "I have idea why this is supposed to be funny!" Maybe you can figure it out...............................................wink!

oh dear.......now I've gone and done it................

sigh.............................

Mary had a little lamb.
One day she got a ram.
Now every day when Mary’s away,
It’s ram-a-lamb-a-ding-dong.

Mary had a little lamb
With a cartoon casting call.
The wolf in the cartoon deadpanned,
"Sheepherder, y'all..."
