SILLY RHYMES

I remember several silly rhymes from my childhood. I know there are more, but these are the only ones I remember for now. If you have a silly rhyme from your childhood, I would appreciate the opportunity to read it.

Number of days in a month:
.....Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November.
.....All the rest have thirty-one
.....Save February, which has twenty-eight
.....And in Leap Year twenty-nine

Somehow and sometime in my childhood it got changed to:
.....Thirty days hath Septober, April, June, and No wonder
.....All the rest have peanut butter
.....Except my grandmother,
.....And she drives a Buick.

Every Spring we recited:
.....Spring is sprung. The grass is riz.
.....I wonder where all the posies is.

In late May or early June everyone happily said:
.....School's out. School's out.
.....Teacher left the bulls out.

It was often accompanied by:
.....No more paper, no more books,
.....No more teacher's dirty looks.

Often heard on April second:
.....April Fool's day is past
.....And you're the biggest fool at last.

Boys trying to impress the girls often said:
.....Roses are red, violets are blue.
.....Sugar is sweet, and so are you.

That came out of many mouth's as:
.....Roses are red, violets are purple.
.....You're as sweet as maple syruple.

Again, if you have any silly rhymes, let me know.
