even a video. But no author/poet is mentioned, except one who adapted it into a picture book. My bad, sorry. I definately learnt it from a children's poetry book, though it was probably by our dear friend Anon.
And I did go on to say stuff about the Mickey Mouse Rhyme.
As for games 'choosing it', I believe the Mickey Mouse one (mentioned earlier) went (in our various accents):
Mickey Mouse/Moose In his house/hoose Pulling up/on his trousers/troosers Down they fell [possibly another line] What colour were his pants/was his bum? [person landed on]-Blue[or other colour] (and there was no "B-L-U-E spells blue" stuff - the 'chanter' had thought of a colour beforehand, and if you chose the colour, you were it.)
There was another rhyme that ended: O-U-T O-U-T O-U-T spells out!
And that part of my message seems to have posted. So why was the middle cut out...?
