Subject: RE: I'm Rubber . You're Glue: Children's Rhymes
Jerry & Joe F. thanks for posting some interesting putdown and word play rhymes
Jerry, with regards to the "Two Irishmen, two Irishmen, sitting on a fence" that you posted on 24 May 05 - 10:50 PM
is that rhyme and the "that's life" verses part of the same rhyme or are they two separate rhymes?
Joe posted another version for 'that's life' so maybe it was [is] a separate rhyme...
And Jerry-after the floating verse "ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies {that incidently also is used in other profanity avoidance rhymes like "Miss Susie Had A Steamboat"}, you wrote "If you ever...."
Does this mean that you forgot the rest of the words? or is this the way the rhyme went?
****
I'd like to remind folks that no one has responded yet to Snuffy's 24 May 05 - 08:29 request for the rest of the words to another play on words rhyme:
"If our Bob gave your Bob a bob on the nose ....."
And no one has posted the words to "Miss Lucy Had A Baby" {Tiny Tim}yet.
Will this thread retire with these posts left hanging???
Oh woe is me! Woe is me!!
