For reasons I have no idea, the following is a mangled mash-up nursery rhyme that Katherine and I know by heart, usually sung as we approach the house on our way home from her school.<\/p>\n
Home again, home again, jiggety-jig,
\nShe lays eggs for my fat pig.
\nHome again, home again, jiggety-jog,
\nShe lays eggs for my fat hog.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAnd then there was the other day, when the three of us managed to do this mash-up between Veggie Tales<\/em> and Bob the Builder:<\/em><\/p>\n
\nBob the Tomato,
\nCan we squish him?
\n<\/em>Bob the Tomato,
\nYes we can!<\/em><\/p>\nCarrot and Celery, Zucchini, too
\nAll work together, to make a nice stew.<\/p>\nCan we crush him?
\nCan we stew him?<\/em><\/p>\nBob the Tomato,
\nCan we squish him?
\n<\/em>Bob the Tomato,
\nYes we can!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nKatherine then gleefully sang that at the top of her lungs for a good fifteen minutes, which was certainly sufficient penance for Margie and my creative sins.<\/p>\n
