The post about tongue twisters rekindled my memory of the good 'ol days when the biggest tension one had was missing chocolate cookies and milk at the break at school. (god i miss those days)

And that led me to remmember all the wonderful wonderful nursery rhymes that were sung everywhere...

Do you remember any...if so post them here....

I will start...

TWINKLE TWINKLE
---------------------
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the World so high
Like a Diamond in the Sky

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
How I wonder what you are

[Fatimah Zahra Karim]

Mary had a litte lamb (My fav)

Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb
Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow!

Everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went
Everywhere that Mary the lamb was sure to go!

It followed her to school one day, school one day, school one day
It followed her to school one day which was against the rules!

It made the children laugh and play, laugh and play, laugh and play
It made the children laugh and play to see a lamb at school!!!!

(OMG! I typed the whole thing?! hehe!)


Jingle Bells are also my favs!

Jingle bell jingle bell jingle all the way,
Santa Clause is coming around riding on a sleigh! Heyyyyy!!!!!!!!

I read a twist of Mary hade a little lamb...I am going to post it here...provided that Sayyeda promises not to kill me (knowing that Mary had a little lamb is her favourite..)

Mary had a little lamb ... re-written

And now it goes to school with her, school with her, school with her
And now it goes to school with her, between two slices of bread!

Brightly shining silver star
Who has made you as you are
Sparkling over the land and sea
High above the highest tree

In truth and so perfectly!

Its raining its pouring
The old man is snoring
He went to his bed and bumped his head
Could not get up in the morning
