Quack! Quack!

I just remembered an old "school rhyme" from my younger years. I had a hard time pulling it up on the net.

"I saw a ship a-sailing,
A-sailing on the sea.
And, oh, was it a-laden,
With precious things for me!

There was candy in the cabin,
And apples in the hold.
The sails were made of silk,
And the masts were all of gold.

The four-and-twenty sailors,
That stood upon the decks.
Were four-and-twenty white mice,
With scarfs about their necks.

The captain was a duck,
With a pack upon his back.
And when the ship began to move,
It cried, "Quack, quack!"

7OL. I justed wanted to share.

Never heard of it, but it was cute.

Reminded me of "A sailor went to sea sea sea" which then reminded me of how I was excluded because I didnt have the hand eye co-ordination and mental dexterity to play clapping games. (might also have been because the girls didnt want my boy cooties)

Thanks for opening up old wounds.

Cute rhyme though
