Ickle Me, Pickle me, Tickle Me Too

[Darkdale]

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too
from the book "Where the Sidewalk Ends" (1974)

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too
Went for a ride in a flying shoe.
"Hooray!"
"What fun!"
"It's time we flew!"
Said Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.

Ickle was captain, and Pickle was crew
And Tickle served coffee and mulligan stew
As higher
And higher
And higher they flew,
Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too,
Over the sun and beyond the blue.
"Hold on!"
"Stay in!"
"I hope we do!"
Cried Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle too
Never returned to the world they knew,
And nobody
Knows what's
Happened to
Dear Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too.

I like that; It made me remember a winnie the Pooh song;

The more it snows
Tiddley pom
The more it goes
Tiddley pom
On snowing

And no one knows
Tiddley pom
How cold my toes
Tiddley pom
How cold my toes
Tiddley pom
Are growing.

Reminds me of some Dr. Suess thing.

Shel Silverstein has always been a favorite of mine.

I had even memorized "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out" for a class and got an "A".

snip...Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out
She'd scour the pots and scrape the pans
candy the yams and spice the hams
and though her daddy would scream and shout
she would not take the garbage out...

My favorite was (I may not quote it exactly):

There's too many kids in this tub,
too many elbows to scrub,
I just washed a behind,
That I'm sure wasn't mine,
There's too many kids in this tub.
