Thread Name: 3 wise men of Gotham
Subject: RE: 3 wise men of Gotham
I was 5yrs old, and for school I had to learn and recite a poem from memory;no note cards or help in any way. My Mother had a collection of nursery rhymes from all over the World. Well the poem I chose was Three Wise Men of Gotham; I am 32yrs old now and still remember every word and this is how it goes.
Three Wise Men of Gotham thought the Moon was cheese; They tried to fish it out of the river, if you please. But all the little tadpoles trailed a little tune, "You'll never never catch it; it's the Moon Moon Moon!!"
That's how I remember it. I hope this helps in some way to someone somewhere. Thank You and God bless. ~*Sarah*~
