What Does "Alley-Alley Aster" mean?

Recommended Posts

yes, I was thinking "go, go to ..... (somewhere that sounds like 'ster') So similar to "Rain, Rain, go away to (Spain)"

 

:hihi::hihi::hihi:

 

Has anyone told you that you're completely bonkers? ;)

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.

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?

My Mum said she knew it as a child and she's Lincolnshire stock so it's a little less localised than that.
