  2. Rhymes

    Share Share Post
    We say the following rhymes when going to play "tig"-
    "Two little gipsies living in a tent
    Could not afford to pay their rent
    The rent man came and put them out
    Gipsy, gipsy you are out."
    "Bim, bom, bini oh
    Where do the crows go,
    To the east or to the west
    To the old crows nest.
    Hopping in the garden
    Hopping in the sea
    If you want a bonny lass
    Please pick out me.
