A Childhood Nonsense Rhyme From Where I Was Born
(We used to say this rhyme when I was small. I didn't write it, I don't know if anyone did or whether it was just made up by bored children with nothing better to do sat on a corner in the midlands. So please excuse any simplicities or political incorrectness, I just thought it would be nice to share. I also wondered if anyone else had some more childhood rhymes local to them?)
One sunny day in the middle of the night,
Two dead men got up to fight,
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other,
A paralysed donkey passing by,
Kicked a blind man in the eye,
Knocked him through a rubber wall,
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all,
If you don't believe this lie is true,
Ask the other blind man, he saw it too.

I'm not sure why kids love disgusting things but it's without doubt that they do, when my boys were small any mention of willies, bums or poo absolutely cracked them up, I suppose it's the taboo of saying something a bit rude, and let's be honest, even in adulthood, a fart is always funny, unless you're in a confined space ? ?.
