Hello, Mo
what do you know?

[Talk about playing with rhymes...I think I posted that little rhyme before. But just because I think this a good sounding rhyme, you may not think so]

"Good' is in the "ears of the beholder". What sounds good to one person or one group of people, may not sound good to someone else or another group because of one or because of a host of conscious and unconscious personal and/or cultural associations.

For instance, I think there are sound perferences in singing voices and in personal names among ethnic groups- which leads to whole different subjects, but I won't regress...

With regard to "peach punch" I like the sound and "feel" of that much more than "pinch punch" or even "peace punch"

"Peace punch" makes me think of "pease porridge hot/pease porrige cold/peace porridge in the pot/nine days old".

It wasn't till a few years ago that I read that "pease" meant "peas" {like green peas}. I equate porridge with 'oatmeal". And whenever I think of green peas {which I don't like any way} in oatmeal {which I don't like any way}, I say double ugh!

PS:
Mo, it's nice talking to you about children rhymes. It's rare that I get a chance to talk about this subject in the non-blogging world.

You wrote "Cinderella rockafel"..is this the "went upstairs to kiss a fella" rhyme? Would you mind posting the rest of it?

Thanks!
