Re: Old rhyme
We used to say:-
'Down in the jungle, living in a tent Want to go t'toilet. (Then you made a raspberry noise) .. too late' How silly and childish it was ... but G-C considered quite rude then, wasn't it ? and used to make us giggle behind cupped hands.. |

Re: Old rhyme
This is a rhyme that my grannie used to tell us kids to make us laugh.
Not last night but the night before Three tom cats came knocking at the door One had a trumpet, one had a drum and one had a pancake stuck to its bum |

Re: Old rhyme
My Dad used to say one about:
One fine day in the middle of the night Three dead men got up to fight. Back to back they faced each other Drew their swords and shot each other.
