Subject: RE: Mention of Death in Children's Rhymes
Elfcall, thanks for that information about the "Joy To The World" parody. The fact that that parody was on The Simpsons explains why it appears to be so widely known.

"Mo, how is "inky pinky ponkey" played? Is it a jump rope rhyme, a hand clap rhyme, a counting out {choosing it} rhyme or some other kind of rhyme?

And what is a "savaloy" as mentioned in this line "Along came a savaloy and hit him on the head"

Thanks!
