- (continued from previous page)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?- Collector
