Comments Katie Sullivan sent us the following email: Hi Lisa, I was searching around trying to find a rhyme that my mom taught me when I was young, and found a bit of it on the, however the version my mom taught me was different, and much longer. I saw that some other people had left their versions on the, so I thought it would be interesting to share the one I learned.
