33: Simple Simon

[sandyRoe]

21 Mary Mary quite contrary?

[bibblebub]

26: Peter and Paul

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!

[bibblebub]

32: sailor ???

A Sailor went to sea, sea, sea,
To see what he could see, see, see,
And all that he could see, see, see,
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea.

9: Grand Old Duke of York

[owllady]

Thank you all very much

[Obiter]

And for the jackpot, what is the connection between )21 and )26?

(Historical reference).

[sandyRoe]

'Mary Mary' was probably Mary Tudor and if the Grand Old Duke eventually became Geo 111 the connection might be growing plants.

[Obiter]

You're halfway there, but )26 is Peter and Paul.

[sandyRoe]

Catholic Church?

[Obiter]

Yes, I suppose so. Both date from the 16C and refer to the counter reformation Under Mary I. SS Peter and Paul refer to the Vatican; fly away and come back refer to the separation of the Church of England from Rome and its restoration under Mary.

Then there was Peter, Paul and Mary, famous Folk Music group

(sorry to lower your level Obiter!)

[bibblebub]

Peter Paul and Mary are from a few years ago but long enough ago to be considered historical?

[bibblebub]

d'oh, a bit slow collating the info

[Captain2]

Ha ha thanks bibble - that almost makes me history too - can remember it on Childrens' Favourites

[sandyRoe]

I never knew, Fly away, Peter, was based on that. I live and learn :-)

[Obiter]

As you have won the jackpot, Sandy, I shall now open box 13:











Oh, ***, you've won a sqaushed banana. Better luck next week!

[sandyRoe]

Was that from Take Your Pick, Hughie Green? Open the box or take the money

[Obiter]

In the Mary, Mary, rhyme the 'cockle shells' are pilgrims' symbols, the 'silver bells' are tokens of catholic ceremony and the 'pretty maids all in a row' are nuns in their habits.
