Nice Pippa! I like the particularly happy ending on that one!

I have a rhyme that was my favourite for as long as I can remember. My nan used to recite it to me and it was orginally found in my "Childrens 301 Bumper Nursery Rhymes" book, sorry no idead who wrote it, but here goes;

Mrs Mason bought a basin
Mrs Tyson said "Ohh what a nice 'un"
"What did it cost?" asked Mrs Frost
" Half a crown," said Mrs Brown
"Did it indeed?" asked Mrs Reed
"It did for certain" said Mrs Burton
Then Mrs Nicks
Up to her tricks
Threw the basin on the bricks

LOL Sorry but this always made me giggle when I was little and thought I would share it with everyone else! (it may have helped that my nan used to do different voices for all the people in it!)
