  James James
Morrison Morrison
Weatherby George Dupree
Took great
Care of his Mother,
Though he was only three.
James James Said to his Mother,
"Mother," he said, said he;
"You must never go down
to the end of the town,
if you don't go down with me."

James James
Morrison's Mother
Put on a golden gown.
James James Morrison's Mother
Drove to the end of the town.
James James Morrison's Mother
Said to herself, said she:
"I can get right down
to the end of the town
and be back in time for tea."

King John
Put up a notice,
"LOST or STOLEN or STRAYED!
JAMES JAMES MORRISON'S MOTHER
SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN MISLAID.
LAST SEEN
WANDERING VAGUELY:
QUITE OF HER OWN ACCORD,
SHE TRIED TO GET DOWN
TO THE END OF THE TOWN -
FORTY SHILLINGS REWARD!"

(Commonly known as Jim)
Told his
Other relations
Not to go blaming him.

"Mother," he said, said he:
"You must never go down to the end of the town
without consulting me."

Hasn't been heard of since.

So did the Queen and Prince.

Said to a man he knew:
If people go down to the end of the town, well,
what can anyone do?"

C/0 his M*****
Though he was only 3.

if-you-don't-go-down-with-ME!"

I am laughing, singing, skipping like a young child reading a nursery rhyme. Very enjoyable and nice use of repetition.
