Remember any old silly verses etc you were told as a child

[flashbang 10]

I haven't looked through the whole thread, so this has probably been mentioned, but we used to do See-see My Playmate (or Ce-Ce My Playmate as I've seen it spelt before - I don't know which is right). Our version went like this:

 

See see my playmate,

Come out and play with me,

And bring your dollies three,

Climb up the appletree,

Slide down the rainbow

 

 

And we'll be jolly friends for evermore.

 

(I'm sure that's the last line of the rhyme)

i knew a lad they called him jim

someone had been throwing tomatoes at him

i said tomatoes dont hurt with a grin

he said yes they do when the come in a tin

[Joto 11]

That's a funny one longchat.

[Plain Talker 11]

i knew a lad they called him jim

someone had been throwing tomatoes at him

i said tomatoes dont hurt with a grin

he said yes they do when the come in a tin

 

I know it as

 

"An actor, an actor,

Was my uncle jim

Till somebody threw a tomato at him....

 

Now tomatoes are soft,

And they don't break the skin

But this one was different,

It was still in the tin!

 

Singing toooralie oooralie ooorrralie -ayyy"

I like that version too PT

I haven't looked through the whole thread, so this has probably been mentioned, but we used to do See-see My Playmate (or Ce-Ce My Playmate as I've seen it spelt before - I don't know which is right). Our version went like this:

 

See see my playmate,

I cannot play with you,

My sister's got the flu,

Chicken pox and measles too,

Slide down the drain pipe

 

(Can't remember the rest)

 

But I was talking to someone else about it, and their version went like so:

 

See see my playmate,

Come out and play with me,

And bring your dollies three,

Climb up the appletree,

Slide down the rainbow

 

ive heard this version

 

see see my playmate

i cannot play today

my sisters got the flu

chicken pox and the measles too

slide down the drainpipe

to the cellar room

we'll be best friends forever

1...2...3... woohoo

How do you guys remember all these rhymes? I'm impressed

[longchat 10]

humpty dumpty sat on a wall

humpty dumpty had a great fall

all the kings horses

and all the kings men

had scrambled egg for breakfast

[Joto 11]

Longchat I thought you was getting serious there for a minute

A wise old owl nursery rhyme / poem

 

A wise old owl lived in an oak

The more he saw the less he spoke

The less he spoke the more he heard.

Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?

[longchat 10]

if i was a catapillar

i would have a farce

cimbing up the cabbage leaves

and sliding down

on my hands and knees

[longchat 10]

i am not a pheasant plucker

im a pheasant pluckers son

and im only plucking pheasants

until the pheasant plucker comes

im a pheasant pluckers wife

and when we pluck together

its a pheasant plucking life
