Rhymes Again

[melc]

Hi there everyone,

Please help as I really think I'm going mad. (Some may think that I already am!) Somewhere recently I've seen some rhymes about birthdays: in particular I'm thinking about number rhymes: one more one less. (Again I know). Does anyone know of any good birthday rhymes?

Thanks Mel C

Are you thinking of the pirate rhyme "When I was one I ate a bun the day I went to sea..."?

5 birthday candles on the birthday cake

Let's count them very carefully

Sthere is no mistake

1 2 3 4 5

We've counted 5

So there's no doubt

And now it's time

To blow one out

 

4 birthday candles, etc, etc

Not sure it's what you're after, but there's one I think by A.A. Milne

When I was one I had just begun,

When I was two I was nearly new, .........

Can't remember the rest off hand - it goes up to being 6 I think. I could find it if you want.
