Thread Name: Origins: Jolly Rogues of Lynn
Subject: RE: Origins: Jolly Rogues of Lynn
I thought it was King's Lynn, but if there are other Lynns about, why not them? Always liked the bag-pudding rhyme, too, especially the picture of the queen in crown and robes, wielding a very large frying pan. Which reminds me of another rhyme:
In days of old when knights were bold And pants were made of tin, No mortal cry escaped a guy Who sat upon a pin.
