Seeing as it's nearly Christmas.
While shepherds washed their socks at night
All eating fish and chips
The angel of the lord came down
And charged them three and six..
(doesn't work since Britain went decimal)
reminds me of this (which isn't so sinister)
One fine day in the middle of the night
Two dead men got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other.
The corporation dustcart was full up to the brim
The driver fell in backwards and found he could not swim
They took him to the infirmary to see if he was dead
They rubbed his belly with a lump of jelly and this is what he said
Rule Brittania
Two tanners make one bob
dee dee diddle diddle dum-dum...
