When we were very young, our parents and adult relatives used to say or
sing silly nonsense rhymes to us. One I keep remembering is: I tiddly I ti, brown bread. I saw a sausage drop down dead. Up came the butcher, with a big knife. Up got the sausage, and ran for it's life. I presume it wasn't one made up by my Dad, and would hope that others have heard it too. But what other such little ditties do you remember? |

I don't recall that, but if you are interested in nursery rhymes I would refer you to Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes by Iona and Peter Opie and other works by the same authors. |

Not really Jim. Just thought I would try and start a thread which would get full of nostalgia. Apparently I was banking on a loser again. Just like my luck with lottery numbers. :( |

But what other such little ditties do > you remember? A thousand Hairy Savages, sitting down to lunch... Gobble, gobble, glup, glup... Munch, munch, munch! :-) OK, that wasn't told to me by my Parents - I heard it (or read it?) in a Spike Milligan book. But I do remember my parents telling me this one... Incy wincy spider climbing up the spout... But I can't remember the rest of it! & also something about Doctor Gloucester? Banging his head or something? Another one is... My Uncle Billy had a ten foot willy, He showed it to the woman next door. She thought it was a Snake, So she hit it with a Rake... & now it's only five foot four!!! :-) OK, I don't think my parents actually told us that one either! But since you mentioned silly nonsense rhymes, that came to mind! :-) |

Not so much a rhyme but I remember my Mum used to sing a little song to me something like - Mr Baggy Breeches I Love You- it was about a little dutch boy, I forget the rest, I wasn't well at the time but it stuck in my mind, I would love to know the rest of that! |

Now you haven't got two muddles up there have you?

Well my parents didn't teach me that one - think it was the kids! |

The elephant is a bonnie bird It flits from bough to bough It makes it's nest in a rhubarb tree And whistles like a cow. The ones I learned at my grandpa's knee would probably need translating for you folk down south since he spoke in Old Scots :-) |
