GUEST,jaylavelle	Lyr Req: Once upon a time, the Goose drank wine... (81* d)	RE: Lyr Req: Once upon a time, the Goose drank wine...	24 Apr 09
I'm almost sure this rhyme came from a historical British political incident. It is kind of "in code" for an attempt to over throw the queen and the consequences to the conspirators: 3, 6, 9, the goose drank wine= One of them was poisoned the monkey chewed tobacco on a street called Line= where they were supposed to meet. The line broke= the conspiracy was discovered. The monkey got choked= hanged And they all went to heaven on a little row boat= deported to Australia. I'm sure I've heard this explanation some where- Anybody can provide details? Jay
