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."
