Amusing indeed! Also a practical handbook to human relations. In other fields of study:

"Peaches in the summertime, apples in the fall"

"Hound dog barks and billy goat jumps"

"Build you a fire of hickory, hickory, ash, and oak;
Never use green or rotten wood (they'll get you by the smoke)"

I'm sure there's an encyclopedia of human knowledge in folk music!

Neat thread idea.
