Do you remember any Nursery Rhymes your parents or grandparents used to recite?
My father used to recite this to us as kids, in this way:
Happy Neddy in a field, munched a carrot, red.
When a bunny passing by, stopped to speak and said.
"Baby dear is awful ill, she's had an awful fright"
"but if she had a piece of that, i'm sure she'll be alright"
"Then take a bit" said Neddy, "Take all of it" said he.
"There's a thistle over yonder, and that's enough for me".
Strange thing is that I can find no info about this online anywhere, I was wondering where it actually came from. I think my dad possibly got it from his Mother who was Scottish, seeing as it mentions Thistles.
Anyone know or have any themselves that they remember?
Oh and another was this, used to make us laugh as kids.
