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

[Blade53 10]

From the 70's-

As I was walking past St Paul's

A woman grabbed me by the elbow

She said you look a man of pluck

Come inside and have a cheese sandwich

[Joto 11]

The funny versions are the best.

[Plain Talker 11]

While Shepherds washed their socks by night,

All seated round the tub,

An Angel of the the Lord came down,

And gave their socks a scrub.

 

While shepherds washed their socks by night

All seated in the snow

The angel of the lord came down

And said "use new OMO"

 

I remember another version of this:-

 

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,

All watching ITV

The angel of the Lord came down,

And switched to BbBC

I can't remember if anyone has mentioned this one ( to the tune of "Jesus Christ, Superstar")

 

Georgie Best

Superstar

Wears frilly knickers and a girly bra

 

( another version was "carries a handbag, and wears a bra")

And another version.........

 

While shepherds washed their socks by night

And hung them on the line,

The angel of the lord came down

And said that red pair's mine.

Ha, ha. I remember that one as:

 

Me eyes, me nose, me mouth, me chin

Follow me down to me Uncle Jim

Uncle Jim makes lemonade

Around the corner chocolate's made

 

We pointed at the naughty bits lol, as we sang this one, but the words were slightly different,

We sang

"Milk, milk,

Lemonade,

Round the corner,

Chocolate's made."

Has anyone heard these rhymes before

 

To market to market wth my uncle jim

when somebody threw a tomato at him

now tomatoes are soft and dont hurt the skin

but this one it did, it was still in the tin,

 

We sang 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

This one was different, it was still in the tin!"

I'll tell you a joke

About a bloke

He peed on the fire,

And made it smoke

I'll tell you another

About his brother

Who did the same,

The dirty bu gger.

 

 

And in a similar vein

 

Ill tell you a story

About Jack-a-nory

And now my story's begun

Ill tell you another,

Of Jack and his brother,

And now my story is done.

Big fleas have little fleas

Upon their backs to bite 'em.

And little fleas have lesser fleas,

And so ad infinitum.

 

A wonderful bird is the pelican,

His bill can hold more than his belican.

He can hold in his beak

Enough food for a week,

But I'm blowed if I know how the helican.

The common Cormorant, or Shag

Keeps eggs inside a paper bag

The reason you will see no doubt

It is to keep the lightning out

But what these unobservant birds

Don't notice is that wand'ring herds

Of bears may come along with buns

And steal the bags to keep the crumbs!

PT and hillsboro those are both clever and funny, fancy two of my friends on FB posting together on here, what a treat.

I wish I were a Caterpillar

I would have a farce

I'd climb up all the grass stalks

and slide down on my bottom....
