Boll Weevil said to the farmer,
"Jess lookin' for a home..."
Clap hands, clap hands,
Till Daddy comes home,
With buns in his pocket
For Maisie alone.
Clap hands, clap hands,
Till Daddy comes home,
For Daddy has money
And Mammy has none.
Doctor Foster went to Gloucester
In a shower of rain.
He stepped in a puddle
Right up to his middle,
And never went there again
Engine, engine, number nine going down Chicago line. If the train falls off the track do you want your money back? {You would pick yes or no and the word would be
spelled out. No would be n-o spells no you don't get your money back or y-e-s-spells yes and you shall have your money back}.
Five Little Pigs
This little pig went to market.
This little pig stayed home.
This little pig had roast beef.
This little pig had none.
This little pig cried "Wee, wee, wee, wee!"
All the way home.
GEORGIE PORGY
Georgy Porgy, pudding and pie,
Kissed the girls and made them cry.
When the boys came out to play,
Georgy Porgy ran away.
Higglety, pigglety, my black hen,
She lays eggs for gentlemen.
Gentlemen come every day
To see what my black hen doth lay.
Sometimes nine, and sometimes ten.
Higglety, pigglety, my black hen
It's raining, it's pouring;
The old man is snoring.
Bumped his head
And he went to bed
And he couldn't get up in the morning.

KNEES UP MOTHER BROWN
There came a girl from France
Who didn't know how to dance
The only thing that she could do
Was knees up Mother Brown
Oh, knees up Mother Brown
Knees up Mother Brown
Knees up, knees up, never let the breeze up,
Knees up Mother Brown
Little Polly Flinders
Sat among the cinders,
Warming her pretty little toes.
Her mother came and caught her,
And whipped her little daughter
For spoiling her nice new clothes.
My Bonnie leaned over the gas tank
Its contents for to see
She lit a match to aid her
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me.
Ô Bring back, bring back,
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me, to me!
I love 'your Bonnie" Maka :)
(The) north wind doth blow,
And we shall have snow,
And what will poor robin do then,
Poor thing?
He'll sit in a barn,
And keep himself warm,
And hide his head under his wing,
Poor thing.
OLD KING COLE
Old King Cole Was a merry old soul,
And a merry old soul was he;
He called for his pipe,
And he called for his bowl,
And he called for his fiddlers three!
And every fiddler, he had a fine fiddle,
And a very fine fiddle had he.
"Twee tweedle dee, tweedle dee, went the fiddlers.
Oh, there's none so rare
As can compare With King Cole and his fiddlers three
Thanks, Eve.
Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been?
I've been to London to visit the Queen.
Pussycat, pussycat, what did you there?
I frightened a little mouse under her chair.
The Queen of Hearts,
She made some tarts,
All on a summer's day;
The Knave of hearts,
He stole those tarts,
And took them clean away.
The King of Hearts
Called for the tarts,
And beat the knave full sore;
The Knave of hearts
Brought back the tarts,
And vowed he'd steal no more.
Ring-a-ring o' roses,
A pocket full of posies,
Achoo!, Achoo!
We all fall down.
This innocent sounding rhyme, first appearing in the 1881 book Mother Goose, is actually a much older chant that goes back to the 1660s and is thought to be about the Plague of London which killed 70,000 of the 460,000 residents. "Ring-a-ring o' roses" refers to the rosy colored rash one would get. An early symptom of the plague.
"Pocket full of posies" refers to the medicine and herbs people carried in their pockets to prevent the plague.
"Achoo! Achoo! We all fall down" are the last sneezes of the person and collapse of one who had died.
Simple Simon met a pieman
Going to the fair;
Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
"Let me taste your ware."
Says the pieman to Simple Simon,
"Show me first your penny."
Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
"Indeed I have not any."
To bed, to bed,
Says Sleepy-head.
Tarry a while, says Slow.
Put on the pan,
Says greedy Nan,
We'll sup before we go.
Up at Piccadilly, oh!
The coachman takes his stand,
And when he meets a pretty girl
He takes her by the hand;
Whip away forever, oh!
Drive away so clever, oh!
All the way to Bristol, oh!
He drives her four-in-hand.
Vintery, mintery, cutery, corn,
Apple seed and apple thorn;
Wire, briar, limber lock,
Three geese in a flock.
One flew east,
And one flew west,
And one flew over the cuckoo's nest.
What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails
That's what little boys are made of !"
What are little girls made of?
"Sugar and spice and all things nice
That's what little girls are made of!"
X, Y, and tumbledown Z,
The cat's in the cupboard

Hallelujah, Praise the Lord, and Pass the Ammunition
I don't know why, but I can't tell a lie.
Just between you me and the lamp post

Many hands make light work
Nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs

quail
I love their songs. The cousins to true quail that we have here are called,
"bob-whites" and their warning chirps sound just like an elf shrilling:
bob white! bob white!
It is amazing to me that someone would shoot the creatures and expect to get a worthwhile meal...
unless the idea is to wipe out an entire covey, or whatever.
might as well just roast a hen, right? ??? :)

from Bj... thank goodness for Bugs Bunny... he always encouraged Benjamin;
he had great teeth and picked up on liking dental hygiene early... (carrots + plus a "bugs" tooth brushing kids' video) ...that patience back then has saved me thousands compared to my less talented daughter. Hey, face the facts, dorkette, with the store-bought smile. :)
Urial
It may be a sheep, but a urial is definitely not fluffy: its coat is short-haired and usually brown. About the size of a very big dog, it has large, forward-curving horns and a long neck ruff, or beard. It is long-legged and fast, its tail thinner and longer than those of other sheep. Early humans did not often hunt urials as game, but sheep were among the first animals to be domesticated by people
