Little Willie dressed in sashes, Fell in the fire and was burn't to ashes, Presently the room got chilly, But no-one liked to poke poor Willie. Lets have a few more and share them..

My Grandad used to tell us one similar to yours Marion. Sam Sam the dirty old man Washed his hair in the frying pan. Combed his hair with a donkeys tail And scrubbed his belly with his big toe nail. FIL Vinegar Bill from over the hill. He never worked and he never will Would rather have a pint than a gill.

T'was in the Month of Liverpool. In the city of July, The flowers were singing gaily, And the birds were in full bloom. I saw a house ten miles off, it was just out of site . It stood alone between two others. And it was black washed white!!!
