We were allowed to buy scholastic books through our school and one had little ditties that people used when signing autograph books.  My favorite was: SITTING ON A TOMBSTONE, A GHOST CAME AND SAID, "SORRY TO DISTURB YOU BUT YOU 'RE SITTING ON MY HEAD." I made the oldest sibling read me that book over and over. That might explain my immaturity!


@AuntG I'd never heard this before, but I LOVE it.  My 5 year old grandson came over today and I recited it to him.  He loved it too.  We kept saying it over and over (in our most dramatic voices) and we laughed our heads off over it.  I had so much fun with him -- and all thanks to you!!

@Citrine1 your grandson is a boy of my heart. That is exactly the way I reacted to it. Another one that cracked me up was:

WAS IN A RESTAURANT THEY FIRST MET - ROMEO & JULIET.

WAS IN A RESTAURANT HE FELL INTO DEBT,

BECAUSE ROM-E-OWED WHAT JULIE-ET.
