thai Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 thai the first one isn't a rhyme, but curious as to where it originated from I like the second one All i know is dad used to sing it. there is another that goes. when i was young and in my prime i ran away to sea,i stepped on board a china ship and bound for the open sea. A china man came up to me and said i was a spy and if i did,nt tell a tale he,d pop me in the eye.O gerraway pongo big chinese elephants nest in a rhubarb tree.The captains name was bongo he had a big fat eye,he used to chew his whiskers as the clouds rolled by.

davep Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Thought of a saying as I was driving home tonight. Where I was it wasn't raining but I was obviously heading towards it. The saying was "It's looking a bit black o'er Bill's mother's" Don't remember where it came from, or who Bill was (or his mother for that matter).

Joto Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 I don't know who Bill was either, but late father-in-law would say 'Joe' instead because that was his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
