Some of you might find this topic ridiculous ,but it just came to my mind and I thought I might ask. All of us have read and even recited rhymes in our childhood and maybe even delivered them in front of an audience.Some rhymes have amusing characters whereas choice of words in some others made them catchy and memorable for people of age groups.Some rhymes have deep underlying messages too.As an adult we might have came across those rhymes while teaching some child or even while spending time with them. So my favourite one is Little Miss muffet . You tell yours now.

I know loads of rhymes but it doesn't make sense to quote any because my native language is German.

@Sojourn When you have a child sitting on your knees and the child is facing you, you move your knees up and down and say, "Hopp, hopp, hopp, Pferdchen lauf Galopp. Über Stock und über Steine, aber brich dir nicht die Beine. Hopp, hopp, hopp, hopp, hopp, Pferdchen lauf Galopp.“

@MALUSE Nice and easy for me. Most of the words I'm familiar and a few I'll have to look up. Tschuss.( I don't know how to enter umlauts)

Maybe Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater..or How do I love thee? Two from the opposite end of the spectrum.

Peter pumpkin is a nice cute rhyme,but I am unfamiliar with How do I love thee. The Internet is saying that it is a sonnet.

Peter, Peter is a pumpkin eater. Had a wife and couldn't keep her. He put her in a pumpkin shell And there he kept her very well. My son's name is Peter and he loved that rhyme.

We used to play London Bridge is falling down. Two people held hands to form a sort of bridge while everyone sang London Bridge is Falling Down. The rest walked under the bridge one at a time and sometimes the bridge would fall down and capture someone. Then everyone would sing take a key and lock him/her up, my fair lady or my fair young man. It was stupid but fun.

This poem I guess has a story behind it. My cousin (girl) used to play similar sort of game in her childhood which I can remember at this moment.

Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet, eating her curds and whey! Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jumped over the candle stick! Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall! Jack& Jill went up the hill, to fetch a pail of water.

Why Jill came tumbling after? . These rhymes are among my favourites too but the big spider and Miss muffet in my rhymes book scared me as a child.
