did you ever have a little autograph book?

[crisgal]

I did, a small, leather bound one, with coloured pages. I was about ten, and all my old aunties and uncles spent boxing day writing things in.
My daughter brought me a little book today, and asked me to write something.
i could remember some of the little rhymes and wondered if anyone knew any more. Some samples to follow...

Roses may be red
And violets may be blue
Your brother has a big nose
And so have you

Two wise you are, two wise you be, two wise you are, two wise for me.

Of course, what i meant was:
Too wise you are, too wise you be, I see you are, too wise for me.
Good night everybody, see you soon.

Roses are reddish,
Violets are bluish,
If it wasn't for Jesus,
We'd all be Jewish.

[owdhamer]

I remember by hook or by crook,followed by by eggs or by bacon
I think you're mistaken

[atalanta]

One of my aunts did this:
She folded one page in, two-thirds/one-third, so she could draw a heart-shape across the folded-in-edge. She wrote "do not open" on the outside of the folded bit. You did open it, of course, and inside, hidden, she had written " now you have broken my heart"

From the 8yo I adored roses are red violets are blue pig muck smells just like you

he who keepeth a secret
must keep it secret

If this book should chance to roam
Box its ears and send it home.

nostalgia is wonderful!!

Two in a hammock
attempted to kiss
when all of a sudden

[elliemay1]

The elephant is a bonny bird
It flits from bough to bough
It builds its nest in a rhubarb tree
And whistles like a cow!

[Ann]

Here are some genuine ones taken from my autograph album from 1956 (Yes, I still have it!)

When you are married and your husband's cross
Just pick up the poker and say "I'm Boss!" (LOL Like it!!!!)

To kiss a miss is awfully simple
To miss a kiss is simply awful
Kissing spreads disease tis stated
But kiss me kid, I'm vaccinated!

The cottage door was open and what a sight to see
**** was holding the baby and Ann was making the tea
(This was most insulting as *** was Billy Nomates in our class!)

Smile, smile, smile, it's well worthwhile
For when you smile, another smiles,
And smiles come quick in piles and piles
And soon there are miles and miles of smiles
And life's worthwhile if you smile, smile, smile.

Do all the good you can
In all the ways you can
To all the people you can
And may God bless you as you do it.

By hook or by crook I'll be last in this book
By pen or by paint, I'll see that you aint!

Remember me on the water, remember me on the lake
Remember me on your wedding day and send me a piece of cake!

Folk may come and folk may go,
As on our way we wend
But there's no power can break the bond
When really we find a FRIEND.

[crisgal]

There are some lovely ones there. Thank you x

Don't kiss behind the garden gate,
Love is blind, but the neighbours ain't.

[Georgiesmum]
