I absolutely LOVE old nursery rhymes! They were my passion too! I used to have videos of them aswell. Aww those were the days!

I love nursery rhymes, and Christopher Robin poems by A. A. Milne.

I had some silly home grown songs for my Grandchildren and they loved them.When their mother tried to sing them she would get told to stop.She couldn't do it right. I understand how you have to sing things over the phone, been there and done that.

I lover the Betty batter botty butter bolb thingy you gave us. More please.

My mother loved tongue twisters. She told me once that radio announcers

have to practice with them so when they get on the air they can clearly enunciate the script they're reading. We had one we played with:

A skunk sat on a stump.
The stump thought the skunk stunk
and the skunk thought the stump stunk.

It was a dandy, delightful, darling, downright fun to read! So glad you are 'out of the closet' I would have missed this rhyme otherwise! It would have been a hoot to hear you on the train! lol Shelly

Re: Vogue

You are welcome! It is I who should thank you. I have now sent the link to 2 esperanto discussion groups and have posted it on my Facebook page.

At present there is a certain amount of discussion in Esperanto circles about a book that came out recently in the States: In the land of invented languages by Arika Okrent. According to someone I know in New York, so far there have been 100 or so reviews of the book. The only one I've read so far was extremely superficial and badly researched.

Betty, thank you so much for that wonderful comment of yours on brighthub. I just read it and wonder if the others come forward and comment on that too. A whole new discussion forum on brighthub maybe.

Re: tongue twisters

Thanks Vogue! Now having solved B and F perhaps we could collect suitable tongue twisters for the remaining 24 letters?
