"Ink Stink" was a common rhyme when I was growing up in Atlantic City, New Jersey in the 1950. This was chanted after someone "let out wind". "Bad" kids also used to say this rhyme to tease some other kid just because...

Ink stink. A bottle of ink.
Somebody let out
an awful stink.
It was Y-O-U!

****

Here are two versions of that rhyme that I recently collected from children in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania:

Stunk in the barnyard.
Pee you!
Who did it come from
From you.

****

Ink in the bottle.
You stink.
Who did it come from?
From you.

****

Does anyone remember any other versions of "Ink Stink"?
