Nursery rhymes are part of our childhood lives. They lay down strong phonic building blocks and sharpens dull listening skills. Children are introduced to them during their pre-school years.
How well can you remember your nursery rhymes?

Sing a song of (A) pence a pocket full of rye,
(B) and (C) blackbirds baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,
Oh wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?
The king was in his counting house counting out his money,
The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!

And ? for the little boy who lives down the lane.
