    water on your head
    I washed my face in water
    That never ran nor sprung,
    and dried it with a towel
    that was never woven or spun.
    Washed it with the morning dew
    and dried it with the sun

    Rhymes
    The following rhymes were told to me by my sister.
    When the harbour lights are burning
    And your mind from care is free
    When an absent friends you are thinking
    Won't you sometimes think of me.
    Ah, dickerry, dickerry dock
    The mouse ran up the clock.
    The clock struck one
    The mouse did run
    Ah, dickery, dickery dock?
