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.

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.

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