Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Oh, Jemima, Look at Your Uncle Jim...
My mother now in her late eighties recited this to me over 20 years ago and it stuck in my mind - but with a different last line to most of the other offerings:

He's in the duck pond, going for a swim.
First he's doing backstroke, now he's doing side,
Now he's out and running about, to get his trousers dried.
