EnglishFolkfan Seasonal Quiz 2010 (60* d) RE: Seasonal Quiz 2010 27 Nov 10

Question 1 So, who sung of the little ones going out to play in the yard, and when did they do it?

My initial instinct was very simplistic & is probably wrong, but I can't think of another, so by interpreting yard as hard area rather than garden I would say 'Boys & Girls come out to play'. I have referenced it thus:

"Girls and boys, are come out to play,
The moon doth shine as bright as day;

is a nursery rhyme that has existed since at least 1708. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 5452"

'Girls and Boys Come Out to Play'


Question 6 still has my brain locked into: Pinto = multi coloured horse = panto and maybe my spelling isn't crazy enough to deduce the dyslexic insect yet!
