Summary
A children's rhyme which helps to teach tense.
"Thalla a dh'iomain! Dè an iomain?
Iomain chamain! Dè an caman?
Caman iubhair! Dè an t-iubhar?
Iubhar adhair! Dè an t-adhar?
Adhar eòin! Dè an t-eun?
Eun mara! Dè a' mhuir?
Muir èisg! Dè an t-iasg?
Iasg dubhain! Dè an dubhan?
Dubhan ceàird! Dè an ceàrd?
Ceàrd adhairc! Dè an adharc?
Adharc mairt! 'S dè a' mhart?
Mart ruadh, ribeagach, robagach,
Is fhiach port gu bainne,
Is leum d' athair air a muin.
Sin mar a bha e!"
