You remind me of a book I had when I was young, I don't recall its title, but I still remember some of the verses:
Said mother tern to baby tern,
Would you like a brother.
Said baby tern to mother tern,
Yes, one good tern deserves another.
And I think this one came from the same book:
Hunter to wife: I spotted a leopard.
Wife to hunter: Don't be silly, dear, they grow that way.
There is also one about a chimney sweeper and his wives, but of dubious taste and politically correctness.
