Hey, how could I forget "What the word? Thunderbird!"

Thanks, Lighter. And thanks also for those examples from "Songs and Sayings of an Ulster Childhood".

It's interesting that so many of these children's rhymes are found in the USA and the UK {and elsewhere} before the internet age. However, people did travel and communicate with each other way back then. Communicating overseas just wasn't done as fast as we're doing it now.
