Remember any old silly verses etc you were told as a child


Recommended Posts

My lil one makes his own songs up at 13 months, caught him singing to mei and meow this morning.

You know the one with the Morph style cat's? Mie Meow, Mie Meow, La la lah la la lah!

 

Groovy baby!

 

Our favorite is Five little men in a flying sourcer, plus hey diddle diddle.

We also do twinkle twinkle and I went to the barbers shop, to buy a stick of rock:hihi:

Tread on a line, you marry a swine

Tread on a square you marry a bear

 

What was that all about? Something to do with paving slabs.

 

"tread on the cracks break you mother's back!" hehe

 

yes it's a sort of rhyme about not treading on the cracks in the paving stones.

 

I don't know if it was in existence before AA Milne and his "Pooh bear" books, but I remember something about Christopher Robin going for a walk and singing the rhyme, in one of the Pooh bear books.

They're new ones to me chunkyfunky thanks! and thankyou puddinburner for yours and I think you may have a future singing star on your hands there :D

 

PT when I was small I really believed that if you trod on a crack you'd break your mothers back (for a little while anyway) :hihi:

We used to say

Hey you over there

wots it like to have no hair

is it good or is it bad

cos you look like a brillo pad

we used to sing to an old fella with the most ridiculous comb over:-

he,s got a shredded wheat on his head,a shreaded wheat on his head.

funny thing is,i now have the irish mohican,but still laugh at all the futile comb overs,bad hair transplants and ill fitting wigs.
