Jabberwocky   46 #14 Posted March 9, 2008 Just done a spot of emailing to various victims on my mailing list from all over the country and the planet and... it would seem that the rhyme is a Yorkshire one, Id even go so far as to say a Sheffield one... No one else seems to have heared of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

rubydazzler   11 #18 Posted March 9, 2008 :hihi: Has anyone told you that you're completely bonkers? cheek! read this and repent!  Rain rain go away, Come again another day. Little Johnny wants to play; Rain, rain, go to Spain, Never show your face again!  So ... "alley alley aster, rain, rain, faster"  Could be, en Francais, allez (go), allez (go) a (to) STER (somewhere that could be corrupted to sound like 'ster')  Comprenez maintenant, mon vieux?
