The sausage is a funny bird
With feathers long and wavy
It swims about the frying pan
And makes its nest in gravy.

Now does anyone remember the song about going into a shop - ending in the
line:

'..and the peas ran after me' ?

And what rhyme did they chant as they did it? They must have chanted some rhyme.

Hmmm, No, but I remember:

I eat my peas with honey,
I've done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny
but it keeps them on the knife.

That any use?
