One fine day in the middle of the night, two dead men got up to fight. Back to back they faced each other. Drew their swords and shot each other.
What silly rhymes and sayings can you remember from childhood? |

Ladles and jellyspoons,
I come before you
to stand behind you
and tell you something
I know nothing about.
Next Friday,
the day before Thursday,
there will be a ladies' meeting
for men only.
Wear your best clothes,
if you haven't any,
and if you can come,
please stay home.
Admission is free,
you can pay at the door.
We'll give you a seat,
so you can sit on the floor.
It doesn't matter
where you sit,
the man in the gallery
is sure to spit. |

"Edward Died In November Buried Under Robert Greys House
Still helps now  It's always been "...Robert Graham's house..." During my lifetime in Edinburgh"
Is there any significance in the names? I always assumed it was just random names x

Aw ye canny fling peices oot a twinty story flat. Siven hundred hungry weans will testify to that. If it's butter, cheese or jeely, if the breid be plain or pan, the odds against it reaching earth are ninety nine ti wan. |

I don't know that one. Hopefully someone else can remember the rest. |

When I was young and had no sense
Doo da, Doo da
I ripped my knickers on a barbed wire fence
Doo da, Doo da
To the hospital I did go
Doo da, Doo da
To the nurse I had to show
My Doo da Doo da day
She pricked it with a red hot lance
Doo da, Doo da
You should have seen my goolies dance
Doo da Doo da day |

Jack be nimble
Jack be quick
But Jill prefers the candlestick
The boy stood on the burning deck
Playing a game of cricket
The ball went up his trouser leg
And hit his middle wicket.

That reminded me of:
The boy stood on the burning deck
His pocket full of crackers
A spark flew up his trouser leg
And burnt off his knackers |
