Firecat Rhyming Proverbs: 'You snooze, you lose,' etc. (45) RE: Rhyming Proverbs: 'You snooze, you lose,' etc. 06 Dec 13


Early to bed,
Early to rise,
Makes you healthy,
Wealthy and wise.

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

In it to win it.

If you wish to live and thrive,
Let a spider run alive.

See a penny,
Pick it up,
All day long,
You'll have good luck,
If you give it to a friend,
Then your luck will never end.

Star light,
Star bright,
First star I've seen tonight
I wish I may,
I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight.

Learn as you earn. (This was a saying for apprenticeship courses and jobs that offered on-the-job training)

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told,
Eight's a letter,
Nine's a kiss (or a wish),
Ten's a bird you must not miss.

Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day.

It's raining, it's pouring,
The old man is snoring,
He went to bed,
And bumped his head,
And couldn't get up in the morning.
