Summary

Children's rhymes; a saying when flying kites.

Jean Rodger recites three children's rhymes:

Auntie Lizzie's currant bun,
Auntie Lizzie's currant bun,
We sat on the stairs and we a' had fun
Wi Auntie Lizzie's currant bun.

A stotting [ball bouncing] rhyme:

Stot, stot, ba, ba
Twenty lassies in a raw
No a lad among them a'
Stot, stot, ba, ba.

There was an incantation for flying dragons [kites]: "Aw the birdies in the air come and tickle on my tailie."
