From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This article is about the nursery rhyme. For the hip hop song by 3rd Bass, see Pop Goes the Weasel (3rd Bass song)."Pop Goes the Weasel" is a nursery rhyme which dates back to 17th century England, and was spread across the Empire by colonists. The tune or melody is as follows, or a variation: "Pop Goes the Weasel" melody There are many different versions of the lyrics to this song. Most share the basic verse: Half a pound of tuppenny rice, Half a pound of treacle. That’s the way the money goes, Pop! goes the weasel. Or the alternative verses: Half a pound of tuppenny rice, Half a pound of treacle. Mix it up and make it nice, Pop! goes the weasel. Or the alternative verses: Up and down the city road, (also seen as 'Up and down the King's Highway') In and out the Eagle, That’s the way the money goes, Pop! goes the weasel. For you may try to sew and sew, But you'll never make anything regal, That’s the way the money goes, Pop! goes the weasel. In both England and the English colonies, extra verses have been added, some humorous and others serious: All around the mulberry bush, The monkey chased the weasel, The dog, he thought 'twas all in fun. Pop! goes the weasel. or... Round and Round the mulberry bush, The monkey chased the weasel. The monkey stopped to tie his shoe. Pop! goes the weasel. or... All around the mulberry bush, The monkey chased the weasel The weasel thought it was all in jest Til the monkey slew the weasel (with other versions of the above where reason for murder is given (such as the weasel biting the monkey), or later verses describing how the deed was done, typically through strangulation) or... Ev'ry night, when I come home, The monkey's on the table. I take a stick and knock him off, Pop! goes the weasel. or... Round and round the cobblers bench, The monkey chased the weasel, The monkey stopped to pull up his socks. Pop! goes the weasel. or... Round and round the cobblers bench, The monkey chased the weasel, The monkey thought 'twas all in fun. Pop! goes the weasel. A penny for a spool of thread, A penny for a needle. That's the way the money goes, Pop! goes the weasel. [edit] In Fiction IP: Logged |

But the Minister Prime can lay laws Hey yo, Pete Nice, rip the mic and go for yours Goes for mine, I goes for mine Find the Prime won't eat the green eggs and swine On line like the Serch, in the hoody with the woody Get a disc or tape, at Sam Goody Why'd ya run through the doors some left open? Ropin off the scenes of the crime smokin I got pub and I'ma nut like a SCUD see Blowin up, like I'm throwin up a beef patty Sell-outs run a bout like the measles No cures, cause pop goes the weasels Pop Pop goes the weasel, the weasel Pop Pop goes the weasel, the weasel Pop Pop goes the weasel, the weasel Pop goes the weasel, cause the weasel goes Pop Pop Pop goes the weasel, the weasel Pop Pop goes the weasel, the weasel Pop Pop goes the weasel, the weasel Pop goes the weasel, cause the weasel goes Pop

And here's some inspiration for tomorrow:SMILE FOR YOU Smiling is infectious; you catch it like the flu, When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too. I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin When he smiled I realized I'd passed it on to him. I thought about that smile then I realized its worth, A single smile, just like mine could travel round the earth. So, if you feel a smile begin, don't leave it undetected Let's start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected! Keep the smile going by sending this on to a friend. Everyone needs a smile!!!

June 20 is . . . . Ice Cream Soda Day Yeah!In honor of this, I'm teaching my 3 and 5 year old how to make [homeade] ice cream, then we'll add the soda pop and enjoy For any that are interested in this adventure here is a fun, inexpensive, easy project that tastes Sooooo good: HOME MADE COFFEE CAN ICE CREAM RECIPE Things you will need: 1 lb. Coffee Can 3 lb. Coffee Can 1/2 cup Rock salt and Lots of ICE 1 pint Half and Half 1 1/2 tsps. Vanilla 1/3 cup + 2 tblsps. Sugar For flavored ice cream, choose one: 3 tblsps. of your favorite flavor of instant pudding 1/3 cup of fruit 3 of your favorite cookies, crushed into pea-size pieces 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts 3 tblsps. of instant coffee Mix these ingredients together: 1 pint Half and Half 1 1/2 tsps. Vanilla 1/3 cup + 2 tblsps. Sugar plus any flavorings you've chosen and pour into the one pound coffee can.
Place the lid on securely and set inside the three pound can. Add ice, and alternate layers of ice and salt outside the small can and inside the large can. When totally full, secure the lid on the large can. Hint: You may wish to add duct tape for good measure. Now here comes the fun part! Just roll the can back and forth for about 15 minutes on the floor. [Can be done while sitting on the couch with your feet doing the work] or with small children passing it back n' forth to one another. Open the cans and check the ice cream. If it is not starting to freeze, replace lids and roll 5 minutes more. The ice cream should be frozen to the sides and bottom of the can. If not thick enough, place in freezer and check every 10 minutes or so. Serve and enjoy! Yield: 2 cups ice cream Sendin' love your way, "your friend in spirit"

FUN FACTS ABOUT PINK-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pink denotes soft gentle vulnerability that beckons for masculine protection. It elicits subtle emotions such as unselfish love, kindness and consideration. It is emotionally soothing, calming, warming, cheerful and nurturing. This color lessens the feelings of irritation and aggression by surrounding us with a sense of love. A study showed that Pink has a subduing effect on those suffering emotional distress. People who enjoy wearing Pink are affectionate, sympathetic and understanding. They often need the support of others and can often times be child-like. Pink takes on traits of red and white, therefore it is still a sensuous color while being quite innocent. This combination makes Pink naively sexual, therefore it is self-explanatory as to why so many men polled preferred their dream girl in soft cherub pink intimates. Pink evokes thoughts of cotton candy, bubble gum and silk hair bows, and strawberry milkshakes. Pink is the sweet side of red, a feminine delicate color, it represents “sugar and spice and everything nice”. While red stirs up passion and action, studies have shown that large amounts of Pink can create a sense of physical fragility. Perhaps there is a tie-in between this physical reaction and the color association with the so-called gentler sex.
Using Pink : Both red and Pink denote love but while red is hot passion, pink is romantic and charming. Use Pink to convey playfulness. Think of Florida hot Pink flamingoes. A more pastel shade of Pink can denote tenderness. Multiple shades of Pink and light purple or other pastels used together maintain the soft, delicate, and playful nature of Pink . Add strength with darker stronger shades of purple and burgundy. All shades of Pink get sophisticated when combined with black or gray. Imagine a lacey black negligee with a soft Pink satin ribbon woven throughout. Imagine a sky blue lace trim on a Pink gossamer robe. Picture yourself sweeping down the staircase in an attention getting bright Pink Short & Sweet, trimmed with sharp verdant green as a crisp welcome to Springtime. Lounge in sophistication in a platinum grey silk peignoir with Pink lace accents. Pink Phrases In the pink - healthy Tickled pink - happy, content Pink collar - any office worker that holds a position that an old boys network would consider “traditionally female” Pink cut - the method of cutting fabric in a notched or zig zagged manner. Pink Thoughts
Pink is a delicate pastel associated with soft love and caressing romance. Pink has been known to make the observer desire to handle things more gently. It is as if an aggressive personality becomes gracious and more tenderly romantic. In sports settings, pink may make athletes initially less aggressive, but after some exposure, the agressive properties of red kick in. Pink lingerie will unleash the romantic side of your sweetheart. When surprising someone with a gift, pink lingerie is a guaranteed winner.
Pink Words These words are synonymous with pink or represent various shades of the color pink. Salmon, coral, hot pink, fuchsia, blush, flesh, flush, fuchsia, rose. IP: Logged |
