Queen of Hearts who made some tarts a 1901 Edition of Mother Goose.

“The Queen of Hearts She made some tarts,     All on a summer's day; The Knave of Hearts He stole those tarts,     And took them clean away. The King of Hearts Called for the tarts,     And beat the knave full sore; The Knave of Hearts Brought back the tarts,     And vowed he'd steal no more.”

Many nursery rhymes have nonsense in them. But that is also why they become memorable.

TL’s can show how NONSENSE MAKES SENSE.

By explaining that it adds surprise, humor

and pleasure to students minds about poetry.

Nonsense Example

I wave Good-bye When Butter Flies by Jack Prelutsky

Found in: Something Big Has Been Here. Illustrator: James Stevenson

“I wave good-bye when butter flies

and cheer a boxing match, I've often watched my pillow

fight, I've sewn a cabbage patch, I like to dance at basket balls or lead a rubber band, I've marveled at a spelling

bee, I've helped a peanut stand.”

Before and After

The New Kid on the Block by Jack Prelutsky.
