Buttons/Marbles?

I lost my marbles long ago. That's why I was so desperate to find my buttons. 

Hey!  watch the marble humor, that's my name you're toying with!  ^_^

[AlanM]

Your names Marble?????  ???

[Lloyd Danforth]

Little Alan M has lost his buttons
And he began to cry
Oh, Kat dear,
I sadly fear
My buttons I have lost.
What! Lost your buttons?,
You naughty poster!!
Then you shall have no pie.
Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.
You shall have no pie.

Am I the only person on the planet who had never heard this Nursery thing?? Karl told me this whole thing a week or two ago, and I thouht it was just some wierd thing he knew, but I guess it's fairly common.? And me being the cat girl that I am, didn't know it.? How odd.

Nope, never heard it before.. When I was young, my mother would recite 'Barnicle Bill, the Sailor' ?and, 'The Face On The Barroom Floor'

[Lloyd Danforth]

Your names Marble?????? ???

I think her Indian name is 'Lost Her Marbles'

[AlanM]

Hey Lloyd, is "Face on the Bar Room Floor" the one that has:
Mable, get off the table,
The money's for the beer.

Ah, one of those quaint Indian names. Gotchha

Hey Lloyd, is "Face on the Bar Room Floor" the one that has:
Mable, get off the table,
The money's for the beer.

That line wasn't in the poem my mother used to recite.  As a matter of fact, I just googled it, and, read it.  I can't believe mom memorised the whole thing, but, she was good with poems.  She would really emphisize the last line of that one. 

[AlanM]

I just read it Lloyd. Good one. Makes one pause, and ponder.
My father used to recite "Hiawatha"
By the shores of Gitcheegoomee,
By the shining deep sea waters,..............

This explains alot about you guys....are all east coast parents this insane?
Karl is reciting the same poem Kat is changing the words? ...this is strange

[Kat Kanning]

It is a vast nursury rhyme conspiracy.

I saw a Shorty's restaurant in North Manchester saturday
or how about "Get Shorty" any connection?

Your names Marble?????  ???

Yes.  That's my last name.

[AlanM]

"The Legend of Shorty Dawkins" was on the Epping Times best-seller list for one consecutive week!

[AlanM]

Your names Marble?????? ???

Yes.? That's my last name.

Hey, I found one Marble! I wonder where the others are.

If Intergraph gets married, she'll lose her marbles!!
