Ham, Ram, Sheep and Mutton, revisited
You might remember my post a few days ago about the rhyme I had stuck in my head. "Ham, Ram, Sheep and Mutton, eat them all and be a glutton"
Well, my dad remembers my grandma telling him that rhyme when he was little. He was sitting talking with her in her room, and out of the blue, recited the little ditty, and she laughed... and then, he asked her where she heard it. "My grandpa told me that when I was real small," she said. So, that would be my great-great grandfather West. Unfortunately, the secret of the Ham and Ram seems to have died with him.
If you know the secret, please fill me in. I'm dying to know the origins!
