Ding, dong, dell

Childhood memories

This is a poem we learned in our childhood, and it came back to me on a recent episode of Midsummer Murders ABC 13th November 2009.

Ding, dong, dell, Pussy's in the well. Who put her in? Little Johnny Thin. Who pulled her out? Little Tommy Stout. What a naughty boy was that, To try to drown poor pussy cat, Who never did him any harm, And killed the mice in his father's barn.

I wonder whether the children of today, have come across this verse.
