Since we are remembering our time out on the street when we were so young and without knowledge of the world as it seemed...why then did we sing song such as

Lizy Borden took as axe and gave her father forty wacks and when that was done she gave her mother forty one.

The worms crawl in the worms crawl out the worms play pienocollo on your snout.

Remember those!

I remember skipping rope to Lizzy and worms as I played hopscotch with my friends.

What taradiddles do you remember that kinda shock you now? Or not.

I recall something about black birds...can you help me here.

And something about wool and sheep....

Do you have any wool, yes sir, yes sir, three bags full, one for the master, one for the ________, and one for the ________ that lives up the lane.

from the road,

Eni, meenie, Minie, moe, catch an African American by the toe. Well it didn't exactly go like that. Too bad racism is still an issue 60 years later.

The worms played PINOCHLE on your snout. It's a fun card game and I can't find anyone to play it with anymore.

Jump it's fun, Jump it's easy, Jump, it's fun to play Parcheesi.

Ring around the rosie, pocket full of posie, ashes, ashes, all fall DOWN.

Teddy bear, teddy bear, turn around. Teddy bear, teddy bear, touch the ground. (jump rope game.)

Step on a crack, break your mother's back.

One potato, two potato, three potato, four. Five potato, six potato, seven potato MORE.

My wife was born and raised in Fall River MA, and also skipped rope to the Lizzie Borden song.

But unlike the rest of the nursery rhymes and kid's games, the Lizzie Borden story is true. It was a huge scandal in the Fall River society of the day. Her house still stands - it is a bed and breakfast today. Beck in the 70s when I was dating my wife, she took me to see the house.
