Dr. Fell

I do not like thee, Doctor Fell,
The reason why, I cannot tell.

I took up a poker
And threw it at his head.

I took him by the left leg
And threw him down the stairs.

And here comes a chopper
to chop off your head!

I skipped over water, I danced over sea,
And all the birds in the air couldn't catch me.


I wanted to see how dark of a poem I could make out of some nursery rhymes, and I think this will do. The story is that the narrator doesn't like Dr. Fell, so he kills him and leaves the country to avoid being caught.
