Without Googling (or using another search tool) can you...

  1. no clue…even after reading the spoiler
  2. Easy
  3. Easy
  4. should have been easy, but I blanked on the subject and verb of the sentence
  5. Easy

Never heard of the second on the list (is it a regional thing?), and the first one I’m only vague on…but yeah, the others I know pretty well.

Knew all but #1.

It was the first day of a new school year.

Three boys arrive at class late and the teacher asks the first boy “Why are you tardy,” the boy replies “I’ve been on Blueberry Hill” the teacher said “Take your seat.”

She asks the next boy why he was late. “I was on Blueberry Hill also” he replied.

Then she asked the third boy, but he replied with the same answer.

As the boys we’re sitting down a girl arrives in.

“Let me guess”, said the teacher. “You where on Bluberry Hill also”

“NO… I am Blueberry Hill” replied the girl.

Trying this out…

  1. The gingham dog and the calico cat (this one is hard - I know the poem but don’t know the line)
  2. There is a house in New Orleans they call the house of the rising sun???
  3. Love means never having to say you’re sorry
  4. All around the mulberry bush the monkey chased the weasel
  5. I found my thrill on blueberry hill

All but the first.

Well, what does she expect to result from snakes and snails and puppy-dog tails…?

I knew all but #1, and I learned the verse as all around the mulberry bush the monkey chased the weasel.

Know them all except #1.

I know “all around the mulberry bush…” but apparently that’s because I’m from Northeastern Ohio! :slight_smile:

I know them all. #1 is in The Tall Book of Make Believe which was my favorite book when I was a kid.

I knew all of them immediately. #1 is my favorite childhood poem.

  1. Pretty sure I’ve never heard this before…

  2. The house of the rising sun?

  3. I’m sorry

  4. the monkey chased the weasel. The monkey thought it was all in fun. Pop goes the weasel!

  5. in Texas?

  1. This rings a bell, but I can’t recall what it’s from.
  2. …they call the Rising Sun.
  3. …you’re sorry. I never saw the movie, but Love Story was parodied so
    much that I didn’t need to.
  4. Something from childhood that I no longer recall.
  5. …on Blueberry Hill.
