- If a mother wants to put a baby asleep she repeats the following rhyme:-
I'll tell you a story,
About Johnny McGlory
he went to the wood
and shot a tory
I'll tell you another
about his brother
he went to the wood
and shot another
I'll tell you another
about his mother
she went to the wood
and killed another.- Informant
