"Teddy on de Rail road pickin' up stones
Along come de engine an' break Teddy's bones.
"OH, said Teddy "that's not fair!"
"Well", said the engineer, "I don't care!"
So many of the rhymes and games we played in the pre-computer, gameboy era are being lost.
Kids don't play the same skipping games and rhyming games we did in the 50s and 60s.
What rhymes do you remember?
Another: This is just a snippet I forget the rest:
"My sister Jane is much too young
she cannot speak the Spanish tongue."
Tantalising memories of far off days.
"The past is a far off country: They do things differently there."
