MAMA MAMA
I feel sick
Call the doctor quick quick
Doctor Doctor
Shall I die?
No my baby don't cry.
It seems that I am hanging back in the past these days.
Today, while I were listening to an interesting medical lecture by Dr. Cornard Fischer, he suddenly as he always do in his entertaining lectures, he suddenly started to sing a different version of the above nursery rhyme.
MAMA MAMA
I am ill
Send for the doctor to give me the pill
Doctor Doctor
Shall I die
Yes my child, but so shall I.
The first version of this rhyme were the first words I ever memorized in English language.
I have not learn it in a nursery or in a school , but from my childhood friend Sekab back in Hungary.
Thanx Sekab (:
And then I haven't officially learn anything else in English till my teenage in Libya.
As I recall that now, it sounds interesting!
Does anyone have another version for this nursery rhymes?
or any other nursery rhyme that you like and still hanging there in the memory.
Arabic, English, doesn't matter!!
I miss those innocent days ... sigh!

Hi ,I like that very much..
Years ago,I was in English teaching institute in Benghazi ,for a test..On the wall ,was hanged the words of (Humpty Dumpty)rhym...
I read it once ,and it stuck..Actually ,on occasions,I (find my self singing it when my mind is distracted ,or trying to concentrate on some thing!!!!
I even wrote a blog about my own view on the economic crisis ,related to it..
so:
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All Kings men ,all king's horses
couldnt put humpty together again
lol

While I was reading your post, I remembered this Arabic( probably Libyan ) nursery rhyme:
ماما حلوة ست الدار
كيكة وشـاهي عالنار
بابا جا ومعاه زوار
أهـلاً وسـهلاً بالزوار
Thank you

Yes my friend, I remembered ur post about the Humpty Dumpty. It's strange how sometimes silly things got stuck in our memory and other more important things which we really need to remember just flow away.
