You know those silly songs we all learn in elementary school (primary school, if you prefer) such as “Ring Around the Rosy†and “Miss Mary Mack†and “Cinderella Dressed in Yella†and the spin off songs like “This Land is my Land; This Land Ain’t Your Land†and “Jingle Bells Batman Smells†etc… Isn’t it amazing that these songs have been around forever and they maintain a lively existence on down through countless generations of school children who all think they are the first ones to sing them? Color me impressed!

When swimming in the river, beware of water snakes, water spiders and mutant crawdads all of which remember how tasty humans are from last year.
When reading romance novels at night, candles are not sufficient lighting. Your mother said so.
