With this weather, it's brought back a couple old rhymes my mam used to sing to me.

Michael Finnegan:

There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He had whiskers on his chin-a-gen
Along came the wind and blew them in again
Poor, old Michael Finnegan, begin again
-------------------
It's raining its pouring:

It’s raining, it’s pouring,
The old man’s snoring.
He got into bed
And bumped his head
And couldn’t get up in the morning.

Both canny creepy now when you look back at it.

What rhymes do you remember from being a bairn?
 


Jingle Bells
Batman smells
Robin flew away
....
Can't remember the rest

Jesus Christ Superstar
Came down from heaven on a Yamaha
Pulled a skid, killed a kid
....
Can't remember the rest

What's the time?
Half past nine
Hang your knickers on the line
....
Can't remember the rest

Right over France
And found them in Bombay

Jonah and the whale, shit in a pale

Wiped his arse on the daily mail.

There was a little monkey running through the country

He fell down a dark hole and split his little *rsehole.
 
Charlie had a pigeon, a pigeon, a pigeon
Charlie had a pigeon, a pigeon he had
It flew in the morning, it flew in the night
It came back in the evening all covered in Chhhhhhharlie had a pigeon

and so on.

I think it's -
When the copper comes along
Hurry up and put them on
 
As an alternative to the all too predictable (and very non PC!) Eenie meenie minor moe …

Ix Ox donkeys’ cocks
In a rubber ball
If you want to join the scouts
Join Saint Paul’s.

My Nana used to sing …

Oh dear what can the matter be
Three old ladies locked in the lavat’ry
They were there from Monday till Saturday
Nobody knew they were there

And

Not last night but the night before
Two Tom cats came knocking at the door
One’d had whisky and one’d had rum
So I took the poker and made them run
