Yickery Sickery

Composed for my children when they were young


Hickory, dickery, dog
The mouse fell in the bog
Its foot got stuck
In all the muck
Hickory, dickery, dog.

and added to

Biggery, higgery hog
The mouse put on a clog
But it couldn't shove
It couldn't move
Biggory, higgery hog.


Yickery, sickery, sock!
The stink was such a shock:
Mouse took off the shoe.
And we said 'Phiew Peeoo!'
Yickery! Sickery! Knockout!


1986-1996 Wayne David Knoll, Trentham Victoria
