Old Mummers' Rhyme
“The wit of a weasal...”
The wit of a weasel. The wart of a frog. All mixed up in September fog. A glass and a half of hangman's mercy. And a bundle of tailors trimmings.
(Old Mummers Rhyme)
There was a man wan time and he had a great cocker pup. Wan day he was out hunting and he shot a snipe. The snipe fell and he sent the dog to fetch it. He went and came back again without the snipe. He threatened him and sent him off again. This time he came back with a kettle in his mouth and the snipe inside it. The snipe fell into the auld kettle.
