mother G is going crazy

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.


goodness, mother G has been humming this whole morning. gv me a break! but the weather sure seems cheery


Incy Wincy spider
climbing up the spout
Down came the rain
and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and
dried up all the rain
Now Incy Wincy spider
went up the spout again!

mother G tries to scare me with spider, but she doesn't know I will want one as a pet next time. heheheh, she will freak out

Baa, baa black sheep Have you any wool
Yes sir, yes sir Three bags full.
One for my master And one for my dame
And one for the little boy Who lives down the lane.

The reason to the words and history to this song were to associate wool and wool products with the animal that produces it, not to mention the sound that a sheep would make! The first grasp of language for a child or baby is to imitate the sounds or noises that animals make onomatopoeia (words sound like their meaning e.g. baa baa). The first publication date for the lyrics to this famous nursery rhyme can be dated back to 1744.

Two little dicky birds

sitting on a wall,

One named Peter,

one named Paul.

Fly away Peter,

fly away Paul,

Come back Peter,

come back Paul!

The origin?No specific origins in history could be traced for this popular children's nursery rhyme! Neither could any other verses be traced! What is also unusual is that although the rhyme only has four lines there are two titles for it - the obvious 'Two little dicky birds' and the more obscure 'Fly away Peter, Fly away Paul' which is also used!
