Subject: RE: Folklore: This little piggy From: GUEST, Topsie Date: 19 Apr 07 - 07:25 AM Ladies go nim, nim, nim. Gentlemen go trot, trot, trot. The farmer stays behind And takes his glass of wine, Then he goes gallopey, gallopey, gallopey, DOWN into the ditch. This is while bouncing the baby on your knees gently, then faster, then very energetically before lowering said baby between the knees, accompanied by much laughter. |

Subject: RE: Folklore: This little piggy From: GUEST,KB Date: 19 Apr 07 - 08:13 AM I have a variant on the horse one: (bouncing child gently on knee) this is the way the ladies ride - trottety trottety trottety trot. (bouncing less gently & then lifting them up in a "jump") this is the way the gentlemen ride - gallopy gallopy gallopy and OVER the hedge. (rocking wildly from side to side then dropping child down between the knees) this is the way the farmer rides - cobbledy cobbledy cobbledy and DOWN in a ditch. (Berkshire UK) |
Subject: RE: Folklore: This little piggy From: CeltArctic Date: 19 Apr 07 - 09:56 AM As Bert says above, we all know the Piggy went to market verse. However, it's been so long sing I heard it, I can't recall the words. Can someone refresh my memory please? Moira |

Subject: RE: Folklore: This little piggy From: Dave Hunt Date: 19 Apr 07 - 01:07 PM There is a reference to 'This little Piggy' in the last verse of the wonderful 'Three little pigs' song by Leslie Howarth After he'd finished his carouse, he married the very sweetest od sows, and took her back home to his fine brick house, to live in honour and glory After a while little pigs come, One went to market and one stayed home One had roast beef and one had none ....but that's another story.

Subject: RE: Folklore: This little piggy From: MGM·Lion Date: 08 Feb 10 - 10:06 PM A variant to the main·theme·of·this·thread rhyme ~ My late wife, and friends from the Forest Of Dean (for trans-Ponders, an area of Gloucestershire on Welsh border in west of England), would always insist that the third little piggy had 'NICE roast beef', and did not wish to be informed of the fact that nobody else in the entire Universe agreed with their version. |
Subject: RE: Folklore: This little piggy From: gnomad Date: 09 Feb 10 - 12:30 AM Just tried these, I can still do them, but not as readily as when a child. Not recommended to those with arthritic or swollen hands. Here's the lady's knives and forks, (interlace fingers of both hands, palms up, fingers flat) Here's the lady's table, (keeping fingers laced, turn hands palms down & bend knuckles) Here's the lady's looking glass, (make an A with forefingers, other fingers remain laced) And here's the baby's cradle. (keeping "looking glass", make smaller A with little fingers, rock with wrists) A similar concept, but in a different order: starting with fingers in the "Table" position; Here's the church, (table) With a steeple, (looking glass) Look inside, (turning hands over) And there's the people. (knives & forks position, fingers upright) |

(knives & forks position, fingers upright) Here's the parson going upstairs (back of right hand over back of left and interlace the fingers one by one) Turn him round see him saying his prayers ( Rotate right hand under lft and end up with fingers of both hands interlaced and thumbs at the top, right thumb figgling to represent the kneeling parson). |

Subject: RE: Folklore: This little piggy From: Mo the caller Date: 24 Feb 12 - 07:47 AM Back in 2007 ago Dave Hunt mentioned a Leslie Howarth song I hadn't heard of "Three Little Pigs". I'm interested as we live only a couple of miles from the fruit farm that his son now runs. I often call his dance (Reel of Ballymore) and have heard his Cheshire version of the frogs courting. |
Subject: RE: Folklore: This little piggy From: Mo the caller Date: 24 Feb 12 - 07:54 AM Sorry, my 'cut and paste' finger garbled that message. I did search but "Leslie Howarth" only found 1 other thread while "3 little pigs" got nothing in the DT except the one about the old sow (with noises), and hundreds of (probably) unrelated threads. So does anyone have the words/music? |
Subject: RE: Folklore: This little piggy From: Airymouse Date: 25 Jul 13 - 12:29 PM We pulled the toes of one foot ending with "cried wee wee wee all the way home" on the little toe.

Subject: RE: Folklore: This little piggy From: GUEST,Songbob Date: 26 Jul 13 - 02:57 PM I know the Little Pigs isn't specifically for counting-out, but it reminds me of one I learned whilst young: Ocka-Bocka Stona Crocka, Ocka-Bocka Boo. Ocka-Bocka Stona Crocka, Out goes you! And a German one: Eine kleine dichmadam Die stieg auf die Eisenbahn. Eisenbah sie crackte, Dichmadam sie lachte, Aus bis du! (A little fat woman climbed on the street-car; the streetcar cracked, the fat woman laughed. Out with you!) Anyone have others? And are there any counting-out games involving pigs? Bob |

Oooo, many squeals and laughs. Iggity pee Penny rue Rudy hassle Mary whistle and OLD, TOM, BUMBLE!! This little piggy went to markie eeltoei tale, This one |
