Can you be frivolous?

Blind Three Mice, Blind Three Mice
Run how they see, Run how they see
Farmer’s Wife run after all
Carving knife their cut off tails
Sight see ever life you did?

Frivolous? I always thought it was some sort of grim allegory with the queen Bloody Mary killing lots of protestants :grinning:

How’s it go?

You do the Pokie Hokie
and you spin round and round
that’s all what it’s all about.

You put your left leg in, your left leg out. In, out, in, out, you shake it all about. You do the Hokey Cokey and you turn around. That’s what it’s all about.

That’s the version I know.

Hey diddle diddle the cat did a piddle,
All over the bathroom mat,
The little dog laughed to see such fun
And piddled all over the cat.

(an alternative version of the usual nursery rhyme I heard from someone else, which has stuck in my head!) :rofl:

Judge Dread sang

Where is the boy who looks after the sheep?
He’s under the haystack with Little Bo Peep

And

Little Miss Muffet, sat on her tuffet
Her knickers all tattered and torn
But it wasn’t a spider who sat down beside her
It was Little Boy Blue with the horn

Spike Milligan said. The boy stood on the burning deck when all, but he had fled…TWIT.

But when she leaned over, old Rover took over, and gave her a bone of his own…

Morty, it’s better you don’t try to figure them out.
I’ve gotten my mind and body in a twitch working out why a person would have held on to some versions for so long…Any now, they’ve passed them on to me!

It’s raining - no it’s not, only a few drops

It’s pouring -well if there are only a few drops then it is definitely not pouring
The old man is snoring - not he is not, he might be snorting, between snifters, but definitely not snoring
He went to bed - no he did not. He sat up all night drinking
He bumped his head - no he did not. That was his missus giving him a clip around the ears
He couldn’t get up in the morning - the only part of this ditty that is true. Too many snifters between snorts.
