(C)—"The Broo o' Knowledge."
In this amusement each part is touched as the words are repeated:
"This is the broo o' knowledge (k sounded),
This is the ee o' life,
This is the biblie ganger,
This is the pen-knife (k sounded),
This is the shoother o' mutton,
This is the milk-pots,
This is the belly fat."[1] (Banff.)
A variant of the third line is :—
"This is the biblie office-hoose." (Macduff.)
(D)—"Tae Titly."
In this amusement the mother or nurse begins with the toe, and finishes with the brow. The third formula is defective :—
(a)—"Tae titly,
Little fitty,
Shin sharpy,
Knee knapy,
Hinchie pinchy,
Wymie bulgy,
Breast berry,
Chin cherry,
Moo merry,
Nose nappy,
Ee winky,
Broo brinky,
Ower the croon,
And awa' wi't." (Mrs. Simpson, Monquhitter.)
(b)—"Toe, tip and go,
Heelie i' the hankie,
Shinnie sharpy,
Knee, knip, knapy,
Wymie thick and fat,
Chin cherry,
Moo merry,
Niz nappy
- ↑ This formula has some resemblance to (g) of "Formulettes du visage," in Rimes et Jeux de l'Enfance, by E. Rolland, p. 19.
