Ahhh, thanks Autumn, Made me think of my dear Nan. She used to sing that to me. She had beautiful voice and always rolled her r's Rrrrrobin. "Who killed Cock Robin?" "I," said the Sparrow, "With my bow and arrow, I killed Cock Robin." "Who saw him die?" "I," said the Fly, "With my little eye, I saw him die." "Who caught his blood?" "I," said the Fish, "With my little dish, I caught his blood." "Who'll make the shroud?" "I," said the Beetle, "With my thread and needle, I'll make the shroud." "Who'll dig his grave?" "I," said the Owl, "With my pick and shovel, I'll dig his grave." "Who'll be the parson?" "I," said the Rook, "With my little book, I'll be the parson." "Who'll be the clerk?" "I," said the Lark, "If it's not in the dark, I'll be the clerk." "Who'll carry the link?" "I," said the Linnet, "I'll fetch it in a minute, I'll carry the link." "Who'll be chief mourner?" "I," said the Dove, "I mourn for my love, I'll be chief mourner." "Who'll carry the coffin?" "I," said the Kite, "If it's not through the night, I'll carry the coffin." "Who'll bear the pall? "We," said the Wren, "Both the cock and the hen, we'll bear the pall." "Who'll sing a psalm?" "I," said the Thrush, "As she sat on a bush, I'll sing a psalm." "Who'll toll the bell?" "I," said the bull, "Because I can pull, I'll toll the bell." All the birds of the air fell a-sighing and a-sobbing, When they heard the bell toll for poor Cock Robin Debbie This came from a lovely site, full of traditional nursery rhymes and the history behind them. www.rhymes.org.uk/index.htm

Is the jury out?

Sorry vulture you are definitely getting handcuffed. Cant have you taking a peck at the jury and intimidating them!

I said the sparrow - with my bow and arrow - I killed Cock Robin! Cannot get legal aid - might as well give myself up!!!

He'll hide his head under his wing - poor thing

Oh forgot to mention. All you Scottish people out there will be called to give evidence including Billy Connelly, some of you know who the perpetrator is.

Old Bailey in two days folks. Trial of the century!

Me said the vulture - it's part of my culture

No the prosecution thinks its that damn sparrow with his bow and arrow. Unless u know otherwise!

No said the flea it wasn't me.

I said the bee - I'm sure it was me

We need more witnesses or will never find the murderer! Help is needed.

All the birds of the air came a sighing and a sobbing when they heard of the death of poor Cock Robin!

I said the Fly with my little eye, I sw him die......

I said the Sparrow with my bow and arrow

ah yes, remember this one. Not guilty, m'lud.

Anyone know. Very sad case.
