here is one my grandad and dad used to always 'sing' to me (do you sing a rhyme.. hmm)
One fine day, in the middle of the night 2 dead men got up to fight back to back they faced one another drew out their swords & shot one another.
i love this rhyme, idk why, maybe just a childhood memory thing, but i will defo tell it to Malakai when hes older
anyone else know any?
When life hands you lemons, make grape juice then sit back and watch as the world wonders how you did it.
Cleaning and scrubbing can wait ‘til tomorrow For babies grow up we've learnt to our sorrow, So quiet down cobwebs Dust go to sleep I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep
Edward Lear wrote The Pobble Who has no Toes. I The Pobble who has no toes Had once as many as we; When they said, 'Some day you may lose them all;'-- He replied, -- 'Fish fiddle de-dee!' And his Aunt Jobiska made him drink, Lavender water tinged with pink, For she said, 'The World in general knows There's nothing so good for a Pobble's toes!'
II The Pobble who has no toes, Swam across the Bristol Channel; But before he set out he wrapped his nose, In a piece of scarlet flannel. For his Aunt Jobiska said, 'No harm 'Can come to his toes if his nose is warm; 'And it's perfectly known that a Pobble's toes 'Are safe, -- provided he minds his nose.'
III The Pobble swam fast and well And when boats or ships came near him He tinkedly-binkledy-winkled a bell So that all the world could hear him. And all the Sailors and Admirals cried, When they saw him nearing the further side,-- 'He has gone to fish, for his Aunt Jobiska's 'Runcible Cat with crimson whiskers!'
IV But before he touched the shore, The shore of the Bristol Channel, A sea-green Porpoise carried away His wrapper of scarlet flannel. And when he came to observe his feet Formerly garnished with toes so neat His face at once became forlorn On perceiving that all his toes were gone!
V And nobody ever knew From that dark day to the present, Whoso had taken the Pobble's toes, In a manner so far from pleasant. Whether the shrimps or crawfish gray, Or crafty Mermaids stole them away -- Nobody knew; and nobody knows How the Pebble was robbed of his twice five toes!
VI The Pobble who has no toes Was placed in a friendly Bark, And they rowed him back, and carried him up, To his Aunt Jobiska's Park. And she made him a feast at his earnest wish Of eggs and buttercups fried with fish;-- And she said,-- 'It's a fact the whole world knows, 'That Pebbles are happier without their toes.'
Like your poem, you may find that it is not actually rubbish.
The "pobble" is a sufferer of Rheumatoid Arthritis, and if they are really bad, their toes take on a horrendous shape, such that amputation of all ten toes is usually the best solution.
As you can see in this pic, they are not ever going to touch the floor, they are just taking up space up top.
Do your ears hang low? Do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow? Can you throw them over your shoulder? Like a continental soldier? Do your ears hang low?
During my younger school years we swapped out "ears" for "boobs", too lol that made it much more humorous.
We swapped in balls and boobs much to the chagrin our scout leader. She was mean sometimes anyway. My mom was "cookie" mom. I ate enough Smores to blanket Milwaukee.
