Sneeze on a Monday

If you sneeze on a Monday, there'll be sunny weather
Sneeze on a Tuesday, all friends together
Sneeze on a Wednesday, sneeze for a letter
Sneeze on a Thursday, get something better
Sneeze on a Friday, a visit from Bert
Sneeze on a Saturday, it's gone all down your shirt
Sneeze on a Sunday...
Bless you!

Weather Lore

Red sky in the morning

Yardbirds are yawning

Red sky at night

The racoons will take flight

A sunshiny shower

Will last half a flannel

If it's raining cats and dogs

Hide under a camel

Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat

Pussy cat, pussy cat

Where have you been?

I've been up to London

To visit the Queen

Pussy cat, pussy cat

What did you there?

Actually I was there on behalf of The Cat Can Look At a Queen Society - discussing ways to get a little more recognition for the pivotal role cats have played in traditional stories and poems.

There Was An Old Woman

There was an old woman
Who lived in a canoe

She paddled all day
Till her hands turned blue
And all of her children
On the river bank
Laughed and laughed
When her little boat sank
Don't worry, they said,
That you've sunk your canoe
We've had a whip round
And bought you a shoe

The Owl and the Pussycat

The owl and the pussycat

Went to sea

The owl ate the pussycat

Oh deary me

Dance, Dance

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dark Settee
And I'll bounce on you
And you can bounce on me
And we'll both sit down
And watch TV
