I heard about it through my friend Katy Gilmore, whose blog you mention in this post. <br />I often try to recite nursery rhymes or sing old songs with my grandsons, but am occasionally thwarted by my incomplete memory of the words and have to resort to Google. Yesterday as I was trying to teach them "Frosty the Snowman" I was stumped again, but my grandson said "get your phone Gramie!" so the old seems dependent on the new and vice versa.

However, she gave a couple of them a modern update, even though she was of the Greatest Generation, not the baby boomer Women's Lib group! Here's an example: <br /><br /> Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.<br /> Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.<br /> All the King's horses, and all<br /> the King's men,<br /> Couldn't put Humpty together<br /> again.<br /> So--The Queen did it!<br /><br />For the longest time, my kids didn't realize what she had done!
