Make way! Make way for The Detective! Over here, Sir.
My, what a mess!
Yes, Sir. What should we do about it, Sir?
Clean it up, of course!
That’s been tried sir. The King…
1 Yes, yes. I know about The King. He’s quite merry up in that castle of his.
Yes, Sir. And he sent…
2 No good. They couldn’t do it. You go find someone who can.
Who, sir?
Find someone!
Very good, Sir.
You! Boy! What’s your name?
Jack.
What do you think you are doing?
3 Jumping.
No, you’re not.
Well, I was jumping. But my toe caught afire.
I see. You know anything about this mess?
Oh, no Sir. I’ve just been jumping.
Well, stick around for questioning. Do you know who that is?
Oh, yes, Sir. That’s Jack.
Jack? I thought you were Jack.
I am. But so is he. He’s a builder.
A builder? What does he build?
4 This house over here, for one thing.
What about this other fool?
His name’s Jack, too.
Jack, huh? Hey, you! Jack! Where you going?
5 To get some water.
Know anything about this mess?
No, Sir.
Detective! Detective!
What is it, little girl?
That old man.
6 You mean the odd one with the even stranger cat?
Yes.
What about him?
7 He was playing with my knee.
Deputy!
Yes, Sir.
Arrest that man!
Sir, we just don’t know how to clean up this mess. Do you have a suggestion?
Yes.
Sir?
8 Get a large frying pan and let’s have an omlette.
In case you missed any, here the the eight ( 8 ) nursery rhyme references:
1 Old King Cole
2 All the King's Horses (part of Humptey Dumptey)
3 Jack Be Nimble
4 This is the House That Jack Built
5 Jack and Jill
6 There Was a Crooked Man
7 This Old Man
8 Humptey Dumptey
Yes, I know. I may as well have forgotten. This is hardly my best stuff. The poems were better.
This is NOT the story I was planning on posting. I apologize. I got caught up with something and used up all of my time. This is basically my notes. I was planning on a nice story of about about a thousand words. Sorry. I screwed up.
I do have some cute poems on the other blogs that I did get in on time: Cat in the Buff, A Voice in the Wind and SOF - The People. Maybe next year I'll be better organized. Sigh.

I enjoyed this and didn't really need the notes!
It was fun and different and isn't that what Rabbit Hole Day is about?
You did like it? [smiles]
I felt bad about it because it wasn't anything what I was planning. But I put it off when it was fresh, and later I let myself get caught up in stuff.
My son wasn't able to pick out the references. That's why I added the notes.
You're right. I forgot the purpose of the day. It didn't have to make sense.
Thanks, Fairy.
