to need MN jury to decide if DH or are right wrt the 'Gimme 5' rhyme

[Ilythia]

So, mine goes
Up above,
down below,
In the middle,
you're too slow.

DH's goes
Up above,
at the side,
down below,
You're too slow.

Clearly mine rhymes and scans and his doesn't.
DH is of the deluded firm belief that mine doesn't rhyme and his is the right version.

So who is right, MrIlythia or me?

He's a character in Supernatural.

So so gorgeous.

MrsDW you probably won't believe me but I was thinking the other day that I hadn't seen you lately. You have a distinctive name, one that has always stuck in my head.

I, on the other hand, am someone you will almost certainly not recognise. But yes, I do have exceptional taste in men television

Ah yes, so I see...

Might have some new essential viewing to add to the list

When is this on???? And how have I missed it!?!?

There was a children's programme with Floella Benjamin on it that went:

Lay on 5
On the side
Up above
Down below
Sorry you're too slow to
Lay on 5

I havd never heard of any version until recently when dd started saying somethng similar.

Hers is something like

Gimme a high gimme a low
something I can;t remember
Too slow

Dancingthrough life - you have got my first choice of username!

DWB, I am totally that anyone has even noticed my existence on MN before.

Dancing, you MUST add it to your list. Stick it at the top! I only started watching it on the 25/10 and am now on season 5! I haven't neglected either sleep or my children, oh no!

DWB, I wouldn't kick Sammy out of bed either. [saves that pic]

Elphaba - sorry I love how many Wicked fans are on MN.

MrsDW and DWB, I'm going to start watching. And I'll put the box sets on my Christmas list.

I tried Defyinggravity, ElphabaThropp and a few others as well and they have gone too.

Dancing I have season 1 on DVD if you'd like to borrow it?

WHat is going on!

YOu are supposed to be agreeing that DH is wrong, not disagreeing with me and then randomly going gooey over some guy.
