Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Queen Victoria's Goolies
From an article in the Times of India dated Jun 4, 2008:Despite the tight-corseted primness and prudery associated with the age named after her, Queen Victoria elicited good cheer in her far-flung colonies as evidenced by the nursery rhyme that Indian ayahs would croon to their young charges many years after independence:
"Thora roti, thora cha
Queen Victoria bahut achha
Thora roti, thora jam
Queen Victoria very fine man!"
