Ed, I have never come across anyone else who knows that one - even my parents can't remember telling it to me. Any idea where it comes from?

If I had a donkey and he wouldn't go Would a smack him? No No No! I'd put him in a barn with lots of corn And rub his old belly 'til his bum got warm! In days of old, when men were bold and the bricklayers had no water There came a little bird and did a little turd and the bricklayers had some mortar. That was about as rude as my Gran got. LOL Mags xx

Strictly speaking, this is a limerick but I'm on the second can of lager so am throwing caution to the winds. There was a young man from Rhyl Who swallowed a hydrogen pill His sexual organ was found in Glamorgan and his nuts on a tree in Brazil.

I'd never heard 'Dan, Dan, the funny wee man' or 'Skinny Malinkey Longlegs' until my grandaughter sang them to me. Her 80 year old Irish great grandmother had taught them to her! Maybe they are Celtic rhymes and not for the 'delicate' ears of a Sarf Lonnoner! LOLOL My Dad used to sing this one to my kids (although he always blamed my brother!) :- Auntie Mary had a canary Up the leg of her drawers. When she f*rted It departed Now let's have a round of applause. Another of his favourites was:- Little Robin Redbreast sat upon a pole Opened his hairy legs and whistled up his Old Mother Reilly had a fat cow She wanted to milk it but didn't know how. She pulled it's tail instead of it's t*t And all she got was a bucket of Ships on the ocean made of glass I saw a Chinaman sliding on his Ask no questions, tell no lies I saw a policeman doing up his Flies are a nuisance, bugs are worse That is the end of my little verse.

Think I'm getting the hang of this now, perhaps am a poet but didn't know it. Oh Babydoll how do you suffer You'r Banjo's broke, no more to utter. It's sad to see the poor wee thing just for the sake of another G String.
