Bibby Bobby bought a bat; Bibby Bobby bought a ball,
With that bat he banged the ball, banged it bump against the wall,

And went fishing in the fog.
When he thought he'd caught a fish
In fact he caught a frog!

Needles and pins, needles and pins,

dla mnie jedna z najlepszych rymowanek to zdanie z III tr.warunkowego z lekcji ,nauczyła mnie błyskawicznie konstrukcji - "If you had been there, you would have seen her. "

One, two, three, four, five

One, two, three, four, five
Once I caught a fish alive.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Then I let it go again.
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right.

to catch/caught/caught- łapać, złapać
fish- ryba
alive- żywy, żyjący
to let sth go- wypuścić coś
to bite/bit/bitten- ugryźć, ukąsić
finger- palec u ręki

wprawdzie nie rymowanka ,ale zdanie jest super - warto zapamiętać:
No one anywhere has ever forbidden anybody anything. - Nikt nikomu nigdzie nigdy niczego nie zabraniał.

Znam taki językołamacz:
"Three Swedish switched witches watch three Swiss Swatch watch switches. Which Swedish switched witch watch which Swiss Swatch watch switch?"

Rozumiem to jako:
"Trzy szwedzkie przemienione czarownice oglądają trzy przełączniki szwajcarskich zegarków Swatch. Która szwedzka przemieniona czarownica ogląda który przełącznik szwajcarskiego zegarka Swatch?"

this one is one of the best during studing English:
good, better, best
never rest
till good be better
and better best

And this one from movie with Roberto Bertolucci

"I scream for ice cream."

Do you hear how it sounds?;)

znalazłam taki przykład na zdanie pytające w słówkach z listy tutora "Why is there no furniture in here? " = dlaczego nie ma tutaj mebli? - ładnie się rymuje, a sama konstrukcja pytania wchodzi do głowy aż miło.

It's raining, it's pouring

It's raining, it's pouring
The old man is snoring.
He got into bed
And bumped his head
And couldn't get up in the morning.

to rain- padać (o deszczu)
to pour- lać, wylewać, nalewać
to snore- chrapać
to bump- uderzyć się, wejść/wpaść na coś lub kogoś
to get up- wstawać

Przyrodnicze rymowanki z roku 1907 autorstwa amerykańskiego fizyka i wynalazcy Roberta W. Wood'a:

"How to tell the Birds from the Flowers and other Wood-Cuts"

przykład (str. 29)
"The Bee. The Beet. The Beetle"

Good Mr. Darwin once contended
That Beetles were from Bees descended,
And as my pictures show I think
The Beet must be the missing link.
The sugar-beet and honey-bee
Supply the Beetle's pedigree:
The family is now complete,—
The Bee, the Beetle and the Beet.


the missing link = brakujące ogniwo
pedigree = drzewo genealogiczne
