Let’s see if any of you know this rhyme…

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

Which one do you say? First is the worst, Second is the best, Third is the one with the… a) wedding dress, b) hairy chest or, c) treasure chest ?

My kids and their friends were debating this one. They disagreed over which answer is the most popular… a, b, or c. Google seems to know b the most. Anyone out there know this rhyme? If so, which ending do you say?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Mama Lisa

PS I asked my friends this question on Facebook and no one answered! Which makes me think it’s a new rhyme that this current generation says. I had never heard it before my kids taught it to me either.

American School Rhyme

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

My daughter often comes home chanting rhymes that she learns in school or on the bus. Being Mama Lisa, I quickly jot down the ones I’ve never heard before. Here’s an odd one she chanted the other day…

First is the worst
Second is the best
Third is the one with the hairy chest.

I don’t know exactly what it means, but I thought it was funny!

-Mama Lisa

UPDATE: Keri wrote in to the comments with these additional lines…

Fourth is the King
Fifth is the Queen
Sixth is the one with the washing machine.
