Jingle And Jests

A Nursery Rhyme.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
Though we know just what you are,
Daughter of a street contractor,
Taught to read and write and factor,
Through a sort of training forced,
Married thrice and twice divorced;
Fitted out with skirts and sandals,
Diamonds, dudelets, space and scandals--
Though we know just what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
