I'm over thirty now, but there's always Jack Sprat:

Jack Sprat can swing his bat
his wife can spray her mace
He'll slap her hard when she's off-guard
she'll spritz him in the face

Jack sprat is knocked out flat
his wife the worst of sights
though bitter foes, at least it shows
they're into equal rights!

And Omar:

Omar had a little bomb,
he found it filled a need
For getting rid of all those folks
with whom he disagreed

Omar let his bomb go off
without the proper care
Now we're finding little bits
of Omar everywhere

And Jack again:

Jack be nimble, Jack be slick
Jack meet mugger, Jack give kick
Jack show quickness, Jack show skill
Jack learn bullet
quick or still

All very important topics for today's world, thanks to a 1984 Mad 
Magazine :)
