two little babies and a postbox!

[crisgal]

does anyone remember any more of the following rhymes (told to me early sixties)?

Do you know a long time ago,

Two little babies whose names i don't know

Were stolen away on a bright summer's day

And left in the woods all alone!

(I've always wondered what happened to them!)

 

and:-

The pillar box is big and red

His mouth is open wide

de dum de dum de dum de dum

de dum de dum inside!

(**please insert correct words if known)

Thank you!

Hi Crisgal! The first is called "Babes in the Wood". You'll find the words on this link:

The poem "The Pillar Box" was written by Katherine Manfield.

The words are a bit outdated and not so pc now but you can find them. You can read them (at the bottom of the page) on the following link:
