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.
