27 Oct 01 - 05:36 PM (#581050) Subject: nursery rhyme quiz From: grannyjan My 4 year old niece has brough a quiz home. It has the initial letters of the words in the first line of nursery rhymes, eg LTT = Little Tommy Tucker. We are stuck on JBN (as well as for Jack be Nimble, there is another one) and TNWDB. Can anyone help out? So far we have looked in all our nursery books, checked with my grand daughter (she is nearly three), and other parents and grandparents. We have also checked the childrens songs database, and my folk song books. thanks |

28 Feb 16 - 07:19 AM (#3775487) Subject: RE: nursery rhyme quiz From: MGM·Lion Indeed a favourite -- but scarcely a nursery rhyme, surely, unless we are to include all Lear's Nonsense Verse within that taxonomy! And, if so, what about Lewis Carroll's, Hilaire Belloc's, &c &c &c? ≈M≈ |

28 Feb 16 - 05:14 PM (#3775606) Subject: RE: nursery rhyme quiz From: GUEST,JTT Where are the borders of nursery rhyme country? I've certainly read Owl & Pussycat to children from books of nursery rhymes in my day. And I'd count rhymes like When the rain raineth And the goose winketh Little wotteth the gosling What the goose thinketh in the canon; many's the child I've irritated by answering with that in a meaning tone, and when asked what the feck I'm talking about, just tapped my nose meaningly. And the same with God made the bees And the bees make the honey The miller's men do all the work But the miller makes the money. |

02 Mar 16 - 02:45 PM (#3776312) Subject: RE: nursery rhyme quiz From: Doug Chadwick Whither will you wander? Not in the nursery rhyme that I learnt as a little'un nor in any of the bedtime books that I read to my kids. A quick Google search comes up with many examples of "wither shall I wander". DC |
