Who Remembered This Old School Poem? by barthy09(m): 3:09pm On Jun 30, 2015 |
As I prepared for work one early morning, I began to hum a primary rhyme that had been very popular when I was smaller. The rhyme was somewhat the favourite of school pupils because of the rhythmic flow of the response lines and the interesting peculiarity of the story line. Old Ronger is dead and gone to his grave… Uhm, ahh, gone to his grave They planted a mango tree over his head… Uhm, ahh, over his head The mangoes grew ripe and ready to burst… Uhm, ahh, ready to burst There came a high wind to blow them all of… Uhm, ahh, blow them all off There came an old woman to pick them all up Uhm,ah, pick them all up Old Roger rose up and gave her a knock… I stopped short. Gave her a knock? How ridiculous! Pray, what would have made the old woman to suffer such a fate from old Roger who was supposed to be long dead and gone? Old Roger and old woman must have had some issues to settle… Or maybe the mango tree had been the issue and the old woman just happened to be the scapegoat. What was the morale of the poem? To watch out for old Roger before picking up fruits? It just did not add up. My only deduction was that the buffoonery Old Roger must have been an Old Soldier before his departure. |
