Lavender's Blue ~

this reminded me

of the song

we used

to sing

 as children

: : :

Lavender's blue dilly, dilly,
Lavender's green;
When I am king, dilly, dilly,
You shall be Queen.
Call up your men dilly, dilly,
Set them to work,
Some to the plough, dilly, dilly,
Some to the cart.
Some to make hay, dilly, dilly,
Some to thresh corn,
Whilst you and I, dilly, dilly,
Keep ourselves warm.

Whistled Warnings ~

woodchucks

whistle

warnings

when

danger looms

: : :

at a fairly young age

I asked a neighbor if he would

teach me how to whistle

~ his response ~

"whistling girls and cackling hens

always come to no good end"

there are variations to this rhyme

none seem to favor

female whistling
