Sometimes you get a line from a song or a poem stuck in your head and you just can't remember where it comes from [in my case it is usually a bit of an old hymn]
Last week Liz and I were talking about a stanza - we think it is a children's story, or a poem - but we cannot place it. Can anyone out there help us, please? [ I have done every permutation I can think of on Google and got nowhere] It's this...
How does he do it?

I'd like to know
Somebody out there must recognise this one!
Well, I really hope someone recognizes this, because it became stuck in my brain immediately upon reading it, tho I suspect it's British and nothing to do with anything I've ever heard or read!

ReplyDeleteI feel like I should know it, but sadly I don't. Perhaps it's from a pre-schooler's story book?
ReplyDeleteJon (originator of this quest!) is pretty sure that the last phrase is "I should like to know" - but neither of us can work out where it came from either!
