Probably a lot of you learned the little verse to say to babies as you count off their toes, "This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home. This little piggy had roast beef, this little piggy had none. This little piggy said, "We, we, we, all the way home."
The second southern part:
"This little piggy said, "I want some corn." This little piggy said, "Where you gonna get it from?" This little piggy said, "Marster's barn." This little piggy said, "I'm a' tell!" This little piggy said, "We, we, we, all the way home."
Do you have silly nursery rhymes from your part of the world?

@1creekgirl yes i think its mostly because over time people don't learn all of it and teach what parts they know and before you know it nobody realizes that they aren't singing them all.

I guess it depends on who is teaching us.

I never heard of this before. However, I have written some alternative nursery rhymes in the past. I"ll have to write one some time in the future.

I am pretty sure it's a southern US verse.

@1creekgirl Not that I'd really know but it sounds 'southern-ish' to me.

I hadn't thought about this nursery rhyme since our last grandbaby was little.

Isn't it funny how little rhymes and songs are different throughout the country?
