much appreciation to all the above. My first thought was 'something brief'.
The Bunny Poem - Pam Ayres:
I am a bunny rabbit, Sitting in me hutch, I like to sit up this end, I don't care for that end, much
Spike Milligan
The Rain
There are holes in the sky Where the rain gets in, But they're ever so small That's why rain is thin.
The Hippopotamus
I'm not frightened of Pussy Cats They only eat up mice and rats. But a Hippopotamus Could eat the Lot of us.
I know Spike's Silly Verse for Kids was already referenced above, and I don't have me copy to hand, so that's made up titles (I think they had titles, didn't they?) and sourced from an unreliable internet where people seem to repeat them from memory, so there are lots of conflicting versions, some with 'there' for 'they're' even, goddammit. Teach 'em better.
