Question: Does anyone have any ideas for school play auditions!?
My high school is putting on a play, and as part of the auditions, you have to sing a nursery rhyme in a way that would be fun to a child!. The man in charge said that basically, you have a better chance of getting picked if you overact and make a fool of yourself!. If anyone has any suggestions on a song and/or a good way to do it, they would be greatly appreciated!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Shel Silverstein has awesome child poetry!.!.!.

here's one that I used in an audition-

One two, buckle my shoe!.
"Buckle your own shoe!"
Who said that!?
"I did!. What are you doing with those silly buckles on your shoes anyway!?"
Three four, shut the door!.
"You shut it--You opened it!."
Er!.!.!. five six, pick up sticks!.
"Why should I pick them up--do you think I'm your slave!? Buckel my shoe, shut the door, pick up sticks, next thing you'll be telling me to lay them straight!."
But it's only a poem!.!.!. Nine ten, a big fat!.!.!. oh never mind!.

Here's another favorite-
Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too,
Went for a ride in a flying shoe,
"Hooray!"
"What fun!"
"It's time we flew!"
Said Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too!.

Ickle was captain, Pickle was crew,
And Tickle served coffee and mulligan stew
As higher
And higher
And higher they flew,
Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too!.


Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too,
Over the sun and beyond the blue!. "
Hold on!"
"Stay in!"
"I hope we do!"
Cried Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too!.


Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too
Never returned to the world they knew,
And nobody
knows what's
happened to
Dear Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too!.

Written by Shel Silverstein (1930-1999)
