Rhymes from our childhood


Recommended Posts

Mary had a little boy,

his name was Sonny Jim,

She put him in the bath tub

To see if he could swim,

He sank to the bottom,

He floated to the top,

And Mary in fluster picked him up by his

Cockles and mussels 1 and 3 a half

If you don't like them you shove them up

You ask no questions,

Tell no lies

I saw a policeman buttoning up his

Flies are nasty,

Bees are worse

This is the end of my little verse!

Updated twenty-eighteen    Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall Humpty Dumpty had a great fall  The structure of the wall was incorrect  So he got ten grand from Claims Direct 

It must be 50+ years ago since I heard that one.       That's because we are. 

It were me dad that made the fire It were me mam that made the tea It were me mam and dad that fell in love It were me mam and dad that made me It were me mam and dad that I was proud of It were

Myself and my mum both suffered with asthma and a lot of our relatives were heavy smokers, so my mum wrote the following poem and we framed it an hung it on the wall so it could be seen as soon as people walked through the door. Nobody every commented on the poem but all the smokers were great, and from then on would go into the garden for a smoke or in case of rain they would use the rear porch, and in all the years the sign was displayed nobody ever took offence

May we please ask you not to smoke

As cigarettes are not a joke

They kill fresh air and make a smell

And make my family feel unwell

So welcome here and please be kind

Please leave those cigarettes behind

Mary had a little lamb,

She tied it to a pylon,

A 1000 volts went up its bum

And turned its wool to nylon.

Mary had a little lamb,

She also had a bear,

I've often seen her little lamb.

I've never seen her......

It's a long time since i sang this one so the lyrics might be slightly wrong. :unsure:

Ha Ha Ha

He He He

Elephants nest up a Rhubarb Tree

I climbed up and broke the eggs

And all the yolk

Ran down my legs. :rolleyes:

My Uncle Seamus was one for a stunt

He used to go out with his coat back to front

A number 10 bus came and knocked Seamus down

He could have been saved but they turned his head round!

One from my first husbands collection

And just for good measure from his repertoire

My granny loved porridge, she made loads of the stuff

But never could find a pan big enough

So she made it in kettle, but couldn't get it out

So we took it in turns to sup through the spout.

It were me dad that made the fire

It were me mam that made the tea

It were me mam and dad that fell in love

It were me mam and dad that made me

It were me mam and dad that I was proud of

It were me mam and dad that were proud of me

It were me mam and dad that was there on the birth of our baby

It were me mam and dad that baby sat

It were me mam and they were a godsend

It is me mam and that I do miss,and will till my end.

If after singing carols outside of a house there was no response, you could sing the verse, preferably through the letter box, 'Hope you have a turkey hanging on a string, Hope the bogger chokes you for making us sing'. Then run away.
