Anyone else sing "The Second Story Window"? As kids it kept us occupied for hours on car trips.
Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep
Tune is similar to "Ain't Gonna Rain No More". Variants of this involve singing every verse and nursery rhyme you can think of to either Shady Grove or "OOooeee, Ride Me High" that Bob Dylan song.

Subject: RE: BS: Nursery rhymes :) From: Date: 22 Aug 99 - 10:43 PM Many years ago, I taught in an inner, inner city school. A brand new English teacher came in as a sub for the class next door to mine, and read them the poem, "The Owl and the Pussycat." He never substituted there again... |

Subject: RE: BS: Nursery rhymes :) From: PJ Date: 23 Aug 99 - 12:26 AM Hey! I tried to create breaks after each line in that last posting by typing a "b" in between the left and right... um... pointy things. (Am I losing ya in techinical jargon?) Instead I got no line breaks and suddenly I was speaking in bold print. What happened? If this is some kinda incantation, it could actually come in handy. Just think, if I was feeling shy all I'd have to do is say "B IN THE POINTY THINGS!" and suddenly all my inhibitions would disappear and I'd speak boldly. "B IN THE POINTY THINGS!" Boss, I want a raise. "B IN THE POINTY THINGS!" Honey, I wrecked the car. "B IN THE POINTY THINGS!" Hey, would you control your obnixious child for heaven's sake? Wow, this could be great. pj

Subject: RE: BS: Nursery rhymes :) From: Barbara Date: 23 Aug 99 - 01:09 AM PJ, when you calm down a little you will notice that these dang machines and codes do what we say not what we want. 'B'in the little pointy things [angle brackets], as you have just discovered, gives you BOLD Whereas, putting 'BR'in the little pointy things gives you a line BReak. And BOLD, as you noted in your message, doesn't go away until you tell it to stop by putting '/B' in another cute little set of pointy things. Ain't computers wonderful? Blessings, Barbara |
Subject: RE: BS: Nursery rhymes :) From: Barbara Date: 23 Aug 99 - 01:13 AM P.S. PJ, your approach to BOLD reminds me of the time Calvin tried the remote control on his dad. |
Subject: RE: BS: Nursery rhymes :) From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 23 Aug 99 - 01:31 AM PJ, so that's where you were when I was going all flubbery trying to play "Jimmy Brown the Newsboy" at the Starry Plough (and maybe I'd better look back at Thursday's posts to see if that's also why you didn't make it to Quinn's). One of my former students came in tonight (after I had sung), in the company of Jessica, John's daughter (John who was sitting with us last Sunday). --seed |
Subject: RE: BS: Nursery rhymes :) From: Joe Offer Date: 23 Aug 99 - 03:29 AM Say, Barbara, do you think we should tell PJ that the way to do a line break is <br>...or is it more fun just to watch PJ's frustration???-Joe Offer, the <br> king- |
Subject: RE: BS: Nursery rhymes :) From: MMario Date: 23 Aug 99 - 10:30 AM Joe - if you wade through that morass of technological language you will see that Bleessings B DID tell PJ how to do a line break.

Subject: RE: BS: Nursery rhymes :) From: black walnut Date: 24 Aug 99 - 01:52 PM i hope i can encourage you to add more quirky nursery rhyme versions (not TOO quirky though) to this thread, and not change topic on me. i teach early childhood music, and i was thinking that some of these would be fun for the parents to read on the blackboard as they come in for classes. (but at the same time, i MUST maintain the integrity of the school i work for....:-) ) lots of fun, ~black walnut

Subject: RE: BS: Nursery rhymes :) From: Jeri Date: 24 Aug 99 - 05:45 PM MM, I love "Wynken, Blynken & Nod." It's by Eugene Field, who also wrote "The Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat." Are we looking at the same book? I have another old book somewhere called, I think, "Silver Pennies" and has poems for children that are mainly about faeries. |
