Mick & Minn Stearbs originally wrote these rhymes to amuse the children they taught. Based on children's jokes, bad puns (and some good ones) and general silliness, they have given a lot of pleasure and fun. As well providing a good laugh they illuminate the way we use (and misuse) the English language. Minn illustrated them for her own enjoyment and her delightful cartoon drawings are presented here opposite the rhymes. So read and enjoy
