The American Indians take to the pages

I have added a few things to your American Indian Site, This is one of them. Also a new tune on the Video

Thrust before the Moon (Buffalo Song) There is a man there, somewhere that man is right there he is laying down, he is stretched down there he is wrapped in skins, he is wrapped in songs he works with feathers, he carries songs that have been singing dropped before the moon can rise, dropped where the corn is growing he is wrapped in skins he is wrapped in songs he lives deep under the drum the drumming before the moon can rise right there where he is If all the beasts were gone, we would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts, happens to us all. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the children of the earth.

NEWS FLASH, WEASEL BEEN POPPED IN A LONDON TAVERN. NEWS FLASH

Pop Goes the Weasel 'Round and 'round the cobbler's bench The monkey chased the weasel, The monkey thought 'twas all in fun Pop! Goes the weasel. A penny for a spool of thread A penny for a needle, That's the way the money goes, Pop! Goes the weasel. A half a pound of tupenny rice, A half a pound of treacle. Mix it up and make it nice, Pop! Goes the weasel. Up and down the London road, In and out of the Eagle, That's the way the money goes, Pop! Goes the weasel. I've no time to plead and pine, I've no time to wheedle, Kiss me quick and then I'm gone Pop! Goes the weasel. What does "pop goes the weasel" mean? --Birdaire, via AOL Dear Birdaire: Who knows? It's basically a folk song and nursery rhyme that later saw service as a music-hall ditty. It's tough enough deciphering rock lyrics written in 1975; what do you expect with a tune going back to the 17th century? But Straight Dope curator of music Tom Miller said he'd give it his best shot. Tom collected two dozen versions of "Pop Goes the Weasel" from both sides of the Atlantic. Many were similar, with one key difference: in North America, the opening line was generally "all around the mulberry bush," possibly due to conflation with the similar tune "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush." In the UK, however, it was usually "all around the cobbler's bench." This gives us a better idea of the song's original meaning. Most authorities think "Pop Goes the Weasel" describes the acts of weaving, spinning, and sewing. A weasel, Tom reports, was a mechanism used by tailors, cobblers, and hatters that "popped" when the spool was full of thread. Some argue that to pop the weasel is also cockney slang meaning to pawn one's coat. This makes sense in light of the second verse of the kids' version: "A penny for a spool of thread / A penny for a needle / That's the way the money goes," etc. A version popular in 19th-century English music halls makes things even clearer: "Up and down the City Road / In and out the Eagle / That's the way the money goes," etc. The Eagle in question was a London tavern; clearly the lyricist was describing the consequences of spending too little time at the cobbler's bench and too much on a barstool. --CECIL ADAMS Found this in images on Google, here is the link www.straightdope.com/

Will Princess Vanilla find a husband or will she just melt away?

Will Princess Vanilla ever find herself a husband or will she just melt away? Princess Vanilla

Once upon a time there lived a beautiful princess. Her name was Princess Vanilla. Unfortunately everything the princess touched would melt. No matter what it was; metal, wood, stone it didn't matter, everything she touched would melt in her hand. Because of this all the men in the kingdom were afraid of her and nobody would dare ask for her hand in marriage.

Her father, the king despaired, what could he do to help his daughter?
He consulted all the wizards and magicians in the land nothing seemed to work then one day an old wizard told the king, "If your daughter touches one thing that doesn't melt in her hands, she will be cured, you just have to find out what it is."
The king was overjoyed and came up with a plan, he would set a challenge that any man that could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands could marry her and inherit the king's wealth.
Not long after three young princes took up the challenge and the competition began. The first prince brought a sword of the finest steel, but alas, once the princess touched it, it melted.
The prince went away, sadly the Princess Vanilla was not going to be his bride.

The second prince brought diamonds. He thought diamonds are the hardest substance
in the world and surely they wouldn't melt.
But alas, once the princess touched them, they apeared like ice cubes and melted away to nothing. He too was sent away disappointed.

It was time for the third prince to come forward to meet the princess. He was very handsome and the princess was hoping that whatever he had wouldn't melt away.
He whispered into the princesses ear.
"Put your hand in my pocket and feel what it is that is in there?"
Blushing, the princess frowned but she did as she was told and gently put her hand into the young princes pocket.
She felt something hard so she caught hold of it and held it in her hand.
"It didn't melt!!! Daddy it didn't melt!!" she shouted and taking her hand out of the young man's pocket she grabbed him around the neck and kissed him.

They instantly fell in love, the king was overjoyed. Everybody in the kingdom was overjoyed. In fact there was much happiness to be had all over the Kingdom. They were soon married and they both lived happily ever after................

.......................... Oh gosh I've just remembered, did I tell you what it was that the young Prince had in his pocket? ....I didn't then you'd better follow me.

THE SPIDER, BY AUNT EFFIE, I wonder how many of you really like spider? Seli and Diddily have loads in the castle.

The Spider

A hungry spider made a web
Of thread so very fine,
Your tiny fingers scarce could feel
The little tender line.
Round-about, and round-about,
And round-about it spun,
Straight across and back again,
Until the web was done.

Oh, what a pretty shining web
It was when it was done!
The little flies all came to see
It hanging in the sun.
Round-about, and round-about,
And round-about they danced,
Across the web and back again
They darted and they glanced.

"I am hungry very hungry"
said the spider to a fly.
"If you were caught within the web,
You very soon would die."
But round-about, and round-about,
And round-about once more,
Across the web and back again
They flitted as before.

For all the flies were much to wise
To venture near the spider;
They flapped their little wings and flew
In circles rather wider.
Round-about, and round-about,
And round-about went they,
Across the web and back again,
And then they flew away.

This Rhyme was written in a book of Aunt Effie's Rhymes.

Yum, yum, yum. Come and taste the wonderful new Dinosaur meals in Donna's Diner. Yum, yum,

Would you believe I found these recipes on the website for The Natural History Museum!!! at the bottom of this page you will find all the details about this site, it is fantastic. Stegosaurus Fruit Salad By Demetrius, aged 7 Ingredients 1 mango or melon, 1 apple, 1 banana 3 cherries or grapes juice of half a lemon 1 can/289g mandarin orange segments Make sure you get some help from an adult as this recipe needs a sharp knife to make. Method 1. Slice mango either side of stone. Hold each slice, flesh side up. Using a small knife, cut a criss-cross pattern into the flesh, down to the skin. Be careful not to pierce the skin. Turn each slice inside out so the squares stand out. 2. Place on a large plate, this is the dinosaur body. 3. Peel the banana and place it next to the mango to make a tail. 4. Cut a thick slice of apple and use a knife to shape it into a dinosaur head. 5. Coat the apple and banana with the lemon juice, this will stop it going brown. 6. Cut the cherries or grapes in half and place on the head for eyes. 7. Use the mandarin segments to add spikes along the body and tail. 8. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve. Cheesy Dinosaurs By Joe aged 10 Ingredients 4 oz/100g plain flour 3oz/75g margerine or butter 3oz/75g chedder cheese (grated) 1 tblsp sesame seeds half a beaten egg Make sure you get some help from an adult as this recipe needs to be baked in the oven. Method 1. Preheat the oven to 180° degrees C / gas mark 4. 2. Sieve the flower into a large bowl 3. Add the margarine/butter and rub it into the flour until it looks like breadcrumbs 4. Add the cheese and sesame seeds 5. Mix in the beaten egg to make a dough 6. Roll the dough out, making it approximately 1 inch thick 7. Use the dinosaur cookie cutters to cut out the shapes and put on a greased baking tray 8. Put in the oven and bake for ten minutes or until golden brown 9. Take them out of the oven, wait until they have cooled down, then devour! Do not eat it straight out of the oven. It's tempting but biscuits get very hot and you will burn your mouth.

Teddy bear, Teddy bear,
Turn around.
Teddy bear, Teddy bear,
Touch the ground

Teddy bear, Teddy bear,
Jump the stairs,

Say your prayers.

Just a Little Donkey


Just a little donkey
but on my back I bore
The one and only Saviour
the world was waiting for

Just a little donkey
but I was strong and proud
I gladly carried Mary
Through the chaos of the
crowd.
I brought her to a stable
where she made a tiny bed
A place for baby Jesus
To lay His little head.

I pray the worldremembers
that special Christmas night
when just a little donkey
carried Heavens Precious Light.

This little poem came from the google Images.
