Beefsteak 305 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Amazing what Yahoo can come up with (Other search engines are available !!) Nebuchadnezzar, King of the Jews Bought his wife a pair of shoes; When the shoes began to wear Nebuchadnezzar began to swear When the swearing had to stop Nebuchadnezzar bought a shop When the shop began to sell Nebuchadnezzar bought a bell When the bell began to ring Nebuchadnezzar began to sing: 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jackson 301 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Thanks Compo and Beefsteak for prompting my memory with: 'Nebuchadnezzar, the king of jews' . . . My grand-daughter (aged 5) is learning to skip (she did 12 jumps over the rope the other day and was thrilled - you should have seen the joy written on her face). I'll teach her this old rhyme, hopefully she'll remember it when she's older then she'll be able to teach it to her children. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EileenH 496 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Such a lot of childhood rhymes were skipping rhymes weren`t they? So many come back to me. Such as - There`s somebody under the bed Whoever can it be? I feel so jolly nervous. (Friend`s name) come into me. (Friend jumps into the rope) First I light a candle Then I look under the bed. Get out you fool! Get out you fool! There`s a monkey up your leg. The words indicate actions and the skipping carries on with a new skipper ad nauseam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

katyjay 5,090 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Wasn't dip dip dip a skipping song, and you ran out of the rope on 'out' and someone else came in? I know the one potato was done with 2 fists turned sideways, stuck out front, and the 'boss' banged his fist along the line, and you put your fist beind your back if 'out' landed on it, till nobody was left. Not sure what the person 'left' did after that, LOL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 The very first 'Ditty' I heard at the age of 5 at Whitemoor was... British Bombers Bombing Berlin Before Breakfast Begins.....and the war had been over 5 years. Seeing as we did the nightime raids while the Yanks did the daylight ones...they were dead right.
