   There was a little man indeed, he sowed a garden full of seeds The seeds began to grow like a garden full of snow The snow began to melt like a ship with a pelt. The ship began to sail like a bird without a tail. The bird began to fly like an eagle in the sky, The sky began to fall Lord of Mercy on us all.

2. Another Nursury Rhyme

   Round the green (green) gravel /
   The grass grows green
   Many a lady is fit to be seen,
   Washed in milk dressed in silk
   The last pops down.
   A big ring is formed and they say the rhyme and suddenly they all pop down and the last pops down gets a slap of a strap.
