Heather (Randall),

Wow, thank you.  I haven't thought about that rhyme in 50 years.  I
heard it as a child from....  no who did I hear it from?  My Frisian
grandmother Steketee?  or my Irish grandmother Allen?   Oh,my my.
Ron (and Heather), any clue to provenance of the rhyme?

It would seem even nursery rhymes are subject to political correctness and
no nasty ideas are allowed anymore! And so it's been re-written to look as
through a quick cup of tea and even someone in a bad mood is feeling better
enough to invite the neighbours in!!!

Wonder what has happened to an old Scots rhyme recited to Clypes (ie Folks
who reported misdemeanours to parents, teachers, cops, etc)

"Tell Tale Tit,
Yer tung will be slit
An aw the dugs in the toon
Will aw git a bit. "

Probably the Thought Police have disposed of this one too.
