Difficulty score 37. If you can find 1 critical hidden pair it all falls in place. No green needed.

Little Willie in a fit of gore,
Nailed his sister to the door.
Mother, troubled, said to Father,
"Children are such a bother."

But I like children! A little butter, a squeeze of lemon--delicious!
12:42 pm

But what about puppies?
12:43 pm
kittybat

Mmmm. puppies
12:45 pm
drwho

So I guess you don't object to Limer nailing that puppy.
12:48 pm
kittybat

<snirkle> Depends. I don't believe in cruelty, or in not eating what you kill. Then again, depends on what you mean by nailing. 'Cause--ewww.

Only Limer knows for sure.

Little Will split the babies head,
to see if brains are gray or red.
Mother said, "He's always up to tricks."
"Isn't he cute? He's only six."
12:51 pm
drwho

Oops, that's Little Willie...
12:52 pm

I love it! Do you write these yourself? They sound kind of like Edward Gorey
12:52 pm

12:52 pm

No, they come from a book called Ruthless Poems for the Heartless Household.
12:53 pm
kittybat

I must find a copy.
12:54 pm
drwho

Probably hard to find. It was published in the 1890s.
12:55 pm
drwho

I don't remember the author's name.
12:55 pm
kittybat

Oh. Truly Gothic goth. I'm sure good old Google can come up with a reference, at least.
12:56 pm
drwho

As for recipies... there is always the one about how to make a dead baby float...
12:56 pm
kittybat

Ok. Maybe not. But once I set my mind to it, I'll find it.

Some of the funniest (and also most horrifying) little verses were written by a person who signed himself Col. D. Streamer. His real name was Harry Graham; he took his pen-name from a regiment to which he belonged: the Coldstream Guards. His Ruthless Rhymes for Heartless homes were quoted with fiendish delight, copied, and immitated throughout the English-speaking world. Graham's most popular quatrain was about a boy called Billy, and the imitations became known as "Little Willies."
