Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Once upon a time, the Goose drank wine...
This is the "goose drank wine" rhyme as I remember it from my childhood in the 1950's. I don't recall any game or activity associated with it; we just recited it.
Once upon a time the goose drank wine; the hen pecked corn off the streetcar line. The streetcar broke the monkey got choked Steamboat! Steamboat! Holler like a Nanny Goat!
