Mary had a little lamb,
  Its fleece was whites as snow;
And everywhere that Mary went
  The lamb was sure to go.

[joannaingram84]

Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full.
One for my master,
And one for my dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

[joannaingram84]

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,
   And can't tell where to find them.
Leave them alone, and they'll come home,
   Wagging their tails behind them.

[joannaingram84]

Simple Simon met a pieman,
  Going to the fair;
Says Simple Simon to the pieman'
   "Let me taste your ware."

Says the pieman to Simple Simon,
   "Show me first your penny."
Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
   "Indeed I have not any."

[joannaingram84]

Hot cross buns!
Hot cross buns!
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns!

If your daughters do not like them,
Give them to your sons;
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns!

Haenschen klein
ging allein
in die weite Welt hinein

Stock und Hut
Steht ihm gut
Haenschen hat die mut

Aber Mutter weinet sehr
Hat ja nun kein Haenschen mehr...

[alaric99x]

Die ganze kraft
Der Wissenschaft
Die ganze Welt verdorben
Und wer nicht denkt
Dem werd sie geschenkt
Er hat sie ohne sorgen

[alaric99x]

Was spricht sie mir fuer unsinn vor?
Es wird mir gleich den Kopf zerbrechen
Mir dinkt ich *bleep* ein ganzes Chor
Von hundertaussend Narren sprechen

[alaric99x]

The *bleep* in my last post surprises me.  The German word was "h o e r," which means "to hear," or "hearing."  Why was this censored, presumably because it's a bit similar to a word indicating a prostitute?

[alaric99x]

An der Nordseekueste
Am Plattdeutschenstrand
Sind die Fische im Wasser
Und selten aufs Land

[alaric99x]

Ihr naeht euch wieder schwankended Gestalten
Die einst so frueh den trueben Blick gezeigt
Versuch ich euch wohl diesmal fest zu halten?
Ist noch mein Herz zu jenem wahn genaigt?

Jack Sprat could eat no fat.
His wife could eat no lean.
And so between the both of them,
they licked the platter clean!

[alaric99x]

Thread of "mother goose'" die Gaensemutter.  Wo bleibst du denn meine Mutter von alle Gaense?

[alaric99x]

Johann Sprat und seine Frau haben beide zusammen den Teller sauber abgeschleckt.  Gut gemacht, aber man muss den teller immer noch abwaschen, obwohl er sauber abgeschleckt wuerde.

[JediJohnnie]

Little boy blue come blow your horn.
The sheep in the meadow,the cow in the corn.
Where is the boy who looks after the sheep?
Under the haystack,fast asleep.
Shall you wake him?
No,not I,for if I do he's sure to cry!
