One 'family' of children's rhymes that I'm particularly interested in is the 'Ink stink' rhymes.
Here are two examples from that family of children's rhymes:
Ink stink. A bottle of ink. Somebody let out an awful stink. It was Y-O-U!
{from my memories of my childhood in Atlantic City, New Jersey,1950s and various other children 1970-2002, including 8 year old African American girl, Fort Pitt Elementary School, Pittsburgh, Penn. 2002; }
I remember the first four lines being said when someone farted, also known as 'letting out wind' and 'passing gas'.
The addition of the last line marks this as an elimination rhyme that was used to choose "It" in hide and go seek and other chasing games.
This example was given as part of my daughter's second grade class room's assignment to recite 'choosing It' rhymes.
****
Stunk in the barnyard. ** Pee yew! Who did it come from? From you.
{8 year old African American boy, Fort Pitt Elementary School, Pittsburgh, Penn. 2002; classroom assignment to recite 'Choosing It" rhymes}
** Although in this case, the boy clearly said 'stunk', I'm wondering if other people say 'Skunk in the barnyard. Pee yew!"
