weerovers contribution re (thread drift) French phrase. A great little book called 'Mots d'heure, gousses, rames' is all nursery rhymes in that style. I recall 'Pousse y gate, pousee y gate, et Arabe yeux bine' and '"Adieu, notres laiques" dit d'acteur frele, "La raison Hawaii canot telle"' Apparently they all actually make some sort of sense in French too.
