Re: [lace-chat] MORE Childhood Rhymes Chants
Joy Malvary, This is getting really intriguing. For while I have never heard of either of your rhymes, the Australian version is obviously somehow a derivation. Ours went:- Ask your mother for sixpence To see the big giraffe With pimples on his whiskers, And pimples on his sK you mother for sixpence etc. That was the dirtiest joke I knew at Primary School :) - learned a few more later one David in Ballarat Oh, ASK your mother for fifty cents to see the elephant climb the fence the higher he climbs the more you can see of his stonishing powers!
