But where shall we have it? <BR/><BR/>I think this may provide much matter for mental wanderings.<BR/><BR/>I was of the 'Voices' generation, at least at my primary school, but then went on to a more old-fashioned private secondary school where I think the books might have been considered rather riskily progressive. One never seemed to see old copies of them around, perhaps they just wore out in school libraries.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-67623976787508314742008-11-13T15:46:00.000+00:002008-11-13T15:46:00.000+00:00Lindemann's Limestone Ridge shiraz cabernet, 1978 ...Lindemann's Limestone Ridge shiraz cabernet, 1978 (check the limit on your virtual credit card first) together with <EM>escalope de veau à la Zagreb</EM> as served to a predominantly German clientele at a cafe in Crikvenica, the former Yugoslavia, in 1965.

I think that children love the sound of words, though very often they may know little of their meaning, and may in fact imagine meanings which they do not have. Sometimes, though, as in this case they manage to draw in shrewd social observations. Hence for me, at any rate, the attractions of such rhymes which revive some of the mystery and excitement of childhood.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972049290586377462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-54109446779247187922008-11-13T04:38:00.000+00:002008-11-13T04:38:00.000+00:00That rhyme sounds almost Mother Goose-ish!
