Thanks An
Well so far we have wxample of this rhyme where the frogs sing {or say}
"E I O U"
or "eep opp orp opp"
or "eipps ippes opps oops chillie willy ding dong"
or "e-i-o-u Um sacka dilly wacka...ker-plop"
"eeps, ops, sodapops"
-snip-
And notice the folk process at work with these two versions: "Where the eeps, ops, sodapops Hey Mr. Lilypad and went kerplops" compared to
"with a hip hop flip floop Missed that banky and went ker-plop!"
