Nursing & Rhyming in Lipogram

Jack and Jill did go up a hill to grab a pail of liquid.
Jack did fall down and smash his crown.
And Jill did so also (although that girl had no crown to crack).

An itsy bitsy arachnid did go up an aquatic spout.
Rain did drop and wash that arachnid out.
That solar disk did visit to dry up all that rain.
And that itsy bitsy arachnid did try it again.

Baa Baa black ruminant mammal do you own any wool?
Yup, sir. Yup, sir. Just short of four bags full.
A bag for my boss.
And a bag for that broad.
And a bag for that small boy who has a habitat down our road.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a significant fall.
All our king's stallions and all our king's manpanions
Couldn't put Humpty into a condition of unity again!

It's raining, it's pouring;
That old man is snoring.
Hit his noggin;
And that guy laid down;
And that guy couldn't stand up in that following morning.
Rain, rain, go away
Visit again a distinct day;
Small Johnny wants to play.

Mary had a small lamb, small lamb, small lamb,
Mary had a small lamb, its fur was light as snow.
And all spots that Mary got to, Mary got to, Mary got to,
And all spots that Mary got to, that lamb was no doubt to go.
It did follow Mary to school on an occasion, school on an occasion, school on an occasion,
It did follow Mary to school on an occasion, which was against standards.
It was causing kids to laugh and play, laugh and play, laugh and play,
It was causing kids to laugh and play to look at a lamb at school.
