To MG: Here’s another version of Concentration. Everyone sits in a circle, clapping and snapping in rhythm to: Concentration (clap snap), are you ready (clap snap), if so (clap snap), let’s go (clap snap), starting with (clap snap), names of (clap snap) – Then the leader would pick the subject – colors, names, states, baseball teams, whatever. Whoever got tongue-tied on the clap-snap was out. A little more civilized than “because I like the letter A” (which was, as I recall, sung to the tune of A Sailor Went to Sea-Sea-Sea). Oy vey.

Okay, here’s the clean version of Miss Lucy: Miss Lucy had a baby, she named him Tiny Tim, She put him in the bathtub to see if he could swim. He drank up all the water, he ate up all the soap, He tried to eat the bathtub, but it wouldn’t go down his throat. Miss Lucy called the doctor, Miss Lucy called the nurse; Miss Lucy called the lady with the alligator purse. Etc. etc. etc.

Before skip-its were Skip Sticks – in the early 1960s. You’d hold the stick in your hand, to which was attached the string, to which was attached the ball. Later on they did away with the stick and replaced it with an ankle strap.

here goes, butirfli: Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight? When your mother says don’t chew it, do you swallow it in spite? Then it catches on your tonsils, and you heave it left and right? Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight… How’d I do?
