In the early 50`s before I started school my great uncle visited my granny every weekday. He was a "rag and bone man" pushing his cart, collecting peoples unwanted clothes. He was in his 70`s bald,no teeth and bow legged. Rumour has it he couldn`t "stop a pig running up an entry".
Virtually every day I would sit onhis knee and recite a poem to me. He spoke very fast and did actions to match the words. i would laugfh uncontrollably and would beg him to recite the poem every time I saw him. He deliberately spoke fast and it took me years to learbthe words. I have never seen or read this ditty since he passed away;
Mother had a donkey
Kept it in the yard
One day it was raining very hard.
Mother bought the donkey in for a warm
In came the donkey
Bit mother`s ear.
Thought it was a cabbage leaf
And kicked the chandelier
Mother got the for
To stick it in the ass
Stuck it up my father`s ass
And out went the gas.
Anyone ever heard this before.
He also called me what sounded like..".Snickerpetoosh". Never heard it since and cannot find any trace of it. Has anyone ever heard it used??
