Nursery Rhymes-NOT FOR KIDS!!

There are times when I suddenly get monumentally fed up!I've had enough of the mind-numbing effects of information overload.Somewhere in the middle of the lecture,I allow my attention to wander.When the lecturer's eyes roll in my direction, itseems safe to nod intelligently.
At times, I take secret pleasure in penning down mangled versions of nursery rhymes just to keep myself entertained during the long,boring,never-ending lectures.And so I scribbled in my notebook trying hard to make it look like I'm taking down stuff written on the board.

"Trickle Trickle little scar
How I blunder made - you are
Up above my forehead so high
Like a slime-mound in the sty"

Different moods demand a different rhyme

"Randy's braces falling down,falling down,falling down
Randy's braces falling down
I'm scared already!"

Sometimes I find solace in writing mean things about the biggest jerk in college

"Bala black sheep
Have you any shame?
'No sir,No sir
I'm desperate for a dame
One for my right hand, one for my left
One for the little heart that lives down my vest' "

Or about the endless chatter that always gets on my nerves

"I hear slander,I hear slander
Oh don't you?Oh don't you?
Chitter chatter hush-hush,
Chitter chatter hush-hush
I hate you,I hate you"

One more year of boring lectures to go!Frankly,I'm running out of Nursery rhymes!!But if I do manage to come up with something new,don't worry..I'll keep you updated!

"All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy" becomes "All jack and no spray makes wack a dull joy"

Sigh! And I was wondering why mine didn't make it to textbooks :
Milk, Wine.
Mailbox, Swine!

ANd "The Three Blind Mice" more related to the news :
Three blind men, three blind men,
See how they run, see how they run,
They all ran after the fielder's throw,
Who cut off their innings with a carving dive,
Did you ever see such a thing in your life,
As three blind batsmen?
