Little Ditties from Long Ago

by patndoris on Oct.27, 2008,under Musings

For some reason, I was thinking of some of the little ditties my father used to say when I was just a wee little bairn. I find it amusing the things people remember from childhood. Sometimes it’s the littlest of things that pops into your head at the oddest of times! I feel compelled to share them - just because I can. (I’m sure there are more, but these are the ones that I remember best.) No life lessons in these - just fond memories.

THE MULE

The mule he has two legs behind,
and two he has before.
You get behind,
before you find,
what the two behind be for.


Mairzy Doats (Read this one fast and just like it looks)

Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn’t you?
Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn’t you?


THE DANGERS OF A KISS

Before I knew biology, the dangers of a kiss;
I thought that kissing you was the nearest thing to bliss.
But now I know biology and I just sit and moan;
six million mad bacteria and I thought we were alone!
