Nursery rhymes in today’s times.... As seen through my eyes.... Go something like this...with a brand new twist..
Little Jack Horner sat on a street corner
Drinking from a paper bag...
Cause when he returned home from Viet-Nam....
All the government did was give him a Flag....
Old Mother Hubbard....She went to the cupboard....
To fetch her kids some food..
When she got there....
The cupboards were bare....
So she had to go on Welfare....
Jack and Jill went to the top of a hill....
To fetch themselves some bottled water....
Jack tripped over some tools of Tom Sawyer....
And now Jill is looking for a good lawsuit Lawyer....
Jack Spratt could eat no fat....
His wife could eat no lean....
And now they too will sue....
A company called “ Lean Cuisine “....
Now I could go on...
But with this I will close....
Just thought I would share....
It’s a totally different world out there..

Really did a great job on this, found very creative and " on spot ".
A naïve councilman and a down-on-her-luck single mom try to save their county’s last stand of forest from greedy developers and a dysfunctional government.
Creative.
