I set the ball rolling with:

A mouse he would a-browsing go
Whether his motherboard let him or no

and retire to the stands.

(?) Cartoon. Same joke. http://paulneil.bla-bla.com/pic750.html

Collection of stanzas. Similar joke. http://www.gemele.c...n_nursury_rhyme.htm
Anticlimax ending rather than ha-ha Computers. [jutta, Dec 13 2001]

For neelandan: "The owl and the pussy cat" http://www.glasswin...giggle/owlpuss.html
Unlike [arora]'s annotation, it doesn't involve text messages. [cp, Dec 15 2001, last modified Oct 17 2004]

       Jack and Jill went up the hill,
To upgrade their Nokia handsets.
Jack came down,
And typed around,
So he could send Jill a quick text.

       If you go out in the 'net today,
Be sure to go in disguise,
If you go out in the 'net today,
Be sure to shut your eyes,
  

       For every gash that ever there was,
Will gather there for certain because,
The 'net's the place the perverts post their pictures.
  

       Every surfer who's been good,
is sure of a treat today,
There's lots of marvellous links to read,
And wonderful games to play.
  

       There on the screen where nobody sees,
They'll bake ideas as long as they please,
'Cause that's the way halfbakers get their jollies.
  

       If you go out in the 'net today,
You know that you're not alone,
It's lovely out in the 'net today, From the privacy of your home.
  

       For every 'baker that ever there was,
Will gather there for certain because,
Today's the day the 'bakers had their haufcon.
  

       Voting time for halfbakers,
The little 'baker types are having a lovely time today,
Watch them, catch them unawares,
Correct their spelling errors along the way.
  

       See them gaily gad about,
They post such silly ideas,
They never have any cares,
  

       At 6am their husbands and wives,
Will call them into bed,
Because they're tired, little, baking bears.

       Boys and girls come out to play, the moon doth shine as bright as day, Leave your cubicle and leave your sleep, join your mates on Bakers Street, Come with a whoop and come with a call, Come with a fishbone or not at all, Up the ladder and down the wall, Flocking road cones will serve us all; you find the custard and vagina jam, and we'll have a croissant and loads of spam.

       The owl and the fussy cat went to sea on a beautiful pod green boat, They took some money and 'slices of honey', wrapped up in a fifty quid note, The owl hooked up to the network above, and text'd in a romantic way, O lovely cat, oh cat my love, what a beautiful cat I say, I say What a beautiful cat I say.

       <umpire's hat> fweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!
jutta: enjoyed those links, but I'd have difficulty reading them to a five year old.
UB: couldn't place the original.
po: For kids! (title changed). Sorry about that, but my intention was to have a load of rhymes ready for small kids - side by side with the originals.
arora: thanks, but same comment.
Ari: You've hit the nail on the head!
</hat>

       I can't remember the name of the song that Una's parodying, but it sounds vaguely familiar, and I'm sure I could have named it when I was 6 years old (-:   

       See link for the poem "owl and the pussy cat" that [arora] altered.

       I can't believe you have nothing better to do. Are you just practising on us?

       Humpty Dumpty sat in a mall.
Humpty Dumpty had a speedball.
All the king's dollars and all the king's dimes,
Couldn't get Humpty to E.R. in time.

Guy Fox, Dec 17 2001
  

       Humpty Dumpty rode a fast car,
Humpty Dumpty had a great smash.
All the world's surgeons
And super glue
Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty
Together Again.

       Doctor Foster culled half of Gloucester
With morphine administered like rain
He slipped up one summer
got caught - what a bummer
Now in jail, never to be seen again.

       Teach:
Come little Johnny, come to me
Let me hear your Q W E
  

       Johnny:

Now you heard my Q W E
Tell me what you think of me
  

       Teach:
Very good, Johnny, Very good.
