Something my mom taught me, perhaps not fully applicable here, but I don't get to share it often:

There once was a girl

with a curl on her forehead

when she was good she was good

but when she was bad she was horrid

    My mum's version was:

    There was a little girl,
    Who had a little curl,
    Right in the middle of her forehead.
    When she was good,
    She was very very good,
    But when she was bad, she was horrid!

    I like it, but my mom died when I was young and I was her sole supporter (physically and emotionally) most of the time because my dad was a workaholic and my siblings had all left home (I was the youngest), so I have hangups about her and her stories and can't accept alternatives as better.

    Oh wow. I learned that from Bugs Bunny.

    My mom was a "professional storyteller" and so taught me lots of rhymes and limericks. Unfortunately, I've forgotten a lot of them. There was one about a crocodile; I absolutely loved it when she taught it to me and now you know everything I remember about it.
