Silly Verses

[leonardjob]

As a child in the 50's the family had a bungalow at Hill farm Northwood Halt on the Severn Valley Railway line. As Dad had to work on a Saturday my brother and I were often taken by my Aunty Audrey and Uncle Albert both still with us. Uncle Albert as well as being able to draw the best Spitfires kept us amused with silly Rhymes or verses.. One I still remember but he has forgotten.

"Whats for thupper Muther
Thoup ma son
What, Thoup again?
I'm thick of thoup
Its always thoup for thupper"

Any one else heard it??

I don't remember that one Leonard, but we used to sing this one about a banjo and put extra l's in it. I am going to try and write it down how it sounds!!

I uloosed to hallav a little ballanjo
And rellest it all on my kneeleeleelee
But nowlow the strilings are brolololoken
And nolo more goolood to meeleeleelee

I toolook it tooloo a little mallallan
To seelee what heelee could dooloolooloo
He saylaid the strilings are brolololoken
And nolo more goolood to youloolooloo

I used to have a little banjo
And rest it all on my knee
But now the strings are broken
And no more good to me

I took it to a little man
To see what he could o
He said the strings are broken
And no more good to you.
