The book is actually an Australian one, from an Australian publisher
so I don't think you would have much luck in finding it, but the first two aren't copyrighted by
anyone, they just came from family, so you are welcome to use them.

Ooooh, now I get it! Actually I have a couple of these myself:
Mary had a little lamb
Her father shot it dead
And now it goes to school with her
Between two hunks of bread
There was a little girl
With 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 better!
And a couple more I found when researching nursery rhymes for a
writing class:
Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been
Licking your lips with your whiskers so clean
Pussycat, pussycat, purring and pudgy
Pussycat, pussycat, WHERE IS OUR BUDGIE?
This little pig went to market
But I think that the point is well taken -
It's the cute little pig that wisely stayed home
Who succeeded in saving his bacon
by Max Fatchen
from "Wry Rhymes for Troublesome Times"
(1983)
As quoted in: (Holden, 1992 p84)
I also have a very funny alternate version of Cinderella, I'll put it
in another post maybe.
I really hope you find an illustrater, Ken, there would definitely be
a market for a book of this sort.

I REALLY DO NEED TO PUBLISH THESE BUT, I NEED A CARTOONIST TO GO HALVERS
with me (sorry about caps) to illistate the book with pictures.
just to give you a sample.
little miss muppet
set on a tuffet
eating her currs and whey
along came a spyder
and sat down beside here
MISS MUFFET HAD MEAT THAT DAY!!!
product of my sick warped sense of humor.
if it were to be in a book, it would need a cartoon of a prissy looking
little girl sitting with the spider (large one) crawling up. and another
with her hand at her mouth with spider legs protruding in all
directions.
i can't draw anything but flys so here i am. no publication. i have
between
1 and 2 hundred of these goofball things.

Ken.

i have been tempted top write fractured fairy tales, simular to the
fractured nursery rhymes thing except they'd be longer.
