Do you remember?

Do you remember any rhymes from your childhood? Rhymes you used to skip to or verses you used to play ball to, or just verses that were topical at the time?

For example:
Bronco Laine had a pain,
So they sent for wagon train,
Wagon train was no good,
So they sent for Robin Hood, Robin Hood lost his bow,
So they sent for Ivanhoe, Ivanhoe killed a man,
So they sent for Big Cheyenne,
Big Cheyenne was having his tea,
So they sent for Laramie, Laramie lost its cargo,
So they sent for Wells Fargo,
Wells Fargo lost its hunter,
So they sent for Billy Bunter,
Billy Bunter was too large,
So they sent for “I’m in charge.”

Is this what you said when you were a child? If it isn’t, please let us know and we will print your version.
