Thank you Genie. That is as creative as I can be! Just think, without your thread I would have never gotten the chance to exhibit my ONE creative thought in life.

Fun thread. I always liked collective nouns of flora and fauna and this is an extension of that...well sorta!

Not collectives, but can't be arsed to find the 'children's rhyme' thread...

To the tune of the children's rhyme 'a Pizza Hut'....


A mandolin, a mandolin (raise hands to stomach/chest height and make plucking/strumming motions as if playing mandolin)
A little penny whistle and a mandolin (raise hands to lips and wiggle fingers as if playing penny whistle)
A banjo! A banjo! (raise right leg with knee bent and crash foot to floor in a stamping motion)
A little penny whistle and a mandolin.

Thanks, Keith Donnelly for sharing this one!
