Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green,When I am king, dilly dilly, you shall be queen:
Who told you so, dilly dilly, who told you so?
'Twas mine own heart, dilly dilly, that told me so.
Call up your men, dilly dilly, set them to work,
Some with a rake, dilly dilly, some with a fork;
Some to make hay, dilly dilly, some to thresh corn,
Whilst you and I, dilly dilly, keep ourselves warm.
If you should die, dilly dilly, as it may hap,
You shall be buried, dilly dilly, under the tap;
Who told you so, dilly dilly, pray tell me why?
That you might drink, dilly dilly, when you are dry
What's all that about?

Like so many old powms and zayings, 'twas corrupted, probably due to the bad teeth wot a lot of the peasants 'ad in olden days.
Theym cudna zay Silly Billy but a-stead it cam out as dilly dilly.

Sleep, pretty darling,
Dot not cry
And I will sing a lullaby.
Golden slumbers,
Fill your eyes
Smiles await you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby.

BBy chance I came across Mark Twain early on and was mesmerised by his statement.

I took a break from reading whole books & took up reading only the beginning and ends of books.
Life can be like that too, I’m in the middle bit, enjoyed the beginning, the jury is out on the end.
