1. In Hickory Dickory Dock, what time did the clock strike????

2. Jack was soooooo nimble. What did he jump over???

3. Why was Little Boy Blue blowing his horn???

4. What do the sheep bring home in Little Bo Peep?

5. What 3 items did Old King Cole call for?

6. Tell the tale of Solomon Grundy!

7. What did the farmer's wife do to the three blind mice?

8. What were the professions of the 3 men in the tub?

9. What did Tom the Piper's son do?

10. What time was it in Wee Willie Winkie?

11. What do Whyken, Blynken, and Nod want to do?

12. How many blackbirds were in that pie??"?

13. Polly puts the kettle on. Who takes it off???


I'll take these answers all at once IF YOU CAN!!!

[dianeschlicht]

[dianeschlicht]

Bumcat, what are you doing with MY birthday book????:p I was born 8/27/47. These were a LOOOONG time ago for me!!!

[bumcat]

Diane - Happy Birthday two weeks early! I was born in 1957. My dh's grandmother gave them to me before she died. She said she knew that I would never sell them. She gave me lots of neat books. Her grandkids weren't too happy at first but that was a long time ago.

[gina2000]

Hey, bumcat.....I was also born in 1957! Great year, doncha think????

I never had a birthday book......sob....;)


Happy ALMOST birthday, Diane!!!!

[gina2000]

Also.....guys....we have no one on for tomorrow's riddle. So we'll be riddle free in the AM.


Does anyone care about doing next week? Drop me a pm and let me know......

[dianeschlicht]

Believe me, I don't celebrate them anymore!!!! Having them is better than the alternative though!!:rolleyes:

[TXTIGGR]

Hello All, sadly don't have time to drive down memory lane with you guys.

This is our busiest time of year and I barely have time to breathe these days.

But I did want to stop in and say "hello" and wish you all a great week.

BTW, any truth behind the rumor that OK is the one behind all these wildfires ... a campfire gone wrong ... LOL

Happy HuMp Day Everyone. :) :) :)

[dianeschlicht]

Speaking of the Meister, he has been pretty quiet this week!

[snoopy]

Oh, geez, you think I would know these, seeing how I have watched Barney's Nursery Rhymes videotape about 5,000 times. Thank goodness my kids appear to be outgrowing it though. I'll give it a shot although I'm thinking I may need a clue on #11 and 3.

[gina2000]

Hi, TXT! Sorry you aren't able to join us for the Goosefest! And you with a 2 year old! This should be right up your alley!


For Dixie Dreamer!

[DixieDreamer]

Good morning fellow riddlers! I had fun answering today's riddle. Mainly because I had to recite each rhyme outloud to find the answer! I know so many by heart... but I had to say them outloud to be sure I had it right! Good thing DH is still in bed. LOL! :p

[gina2000]

And for Pumba! It seems like having kids around does the trick on this one! Congratulations!

<marquee direction="right">http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif</marquee>



Ah, snoops....I remember those Barney days! I sure am glad they're gone!



Mickey65 .....on the one you don't have.....I have a line, you have a pole....baybeee!!!!!!

[dianeschlicht]

LOL, DblD!!! Can't "read to yourself" yet?:p

[gina2000]

For Snoopy! Pants, baybee!!!
