...I love Australia.

"Johnny went to get a drink(...)"
ReplyDeleteMy mom knows a whole bunch of those. (Although she knows them as 'Little Willie' jokes.)
Little Willie in a fit insane stuck his head 'neath the railroad train.
Willie's mother was surprised to find how it broadened Willie's mind.
Little Willie, wrapped in sashes fell in the fire and burned to ashes.
Now the house grows damp and chilly but no one wants to poke poor Willie.
Little Willie found a mirror,
And went and sucked the mercury off,
Thinking in his childish error,
That it would cure his whooping cough.
At his funeral, Willie's mother
Sadly said to Mrs. Brown,
"'Twas a chilly day for Willie
When the mercury went down."
