  2. Rhymes

    Share Share Post
    This rhyme is said when playing a game called "Thread the Needle and sew".
    How many miles to baby land
    Three score and ten
    Will I be there at candle light
    Yes and back again
    Thread the needle and sew, sew, sew, sew.
    A halfpenny for a cotton ball
    A penny for a needle
    Thats the way the money goes
    And pop goes the weazel.
