A MAN WHO LIVED IN LEEDS Some say this rhyme doesn't mean anything. Others are not so sure. There was a man who lived in Leeds; He filled his garden full of seeds. And when the seeds began to grow, It was like a garden filled with snow. But when the snow began to melt, It was like a ship without a belt. And when the ship began to sail, It was like a bird without a tail. And when the bird began to fly, It was like an eagle in the sky. And when the sky began to roar, It was like a lion at my door. (Now drop your voice.) And when the door began to crack, It was like a penknife in my back-- And when my back began to bleed-- (Turn out any lights.) I was dead, dead, dead indeed! (Jump at your friends and scream:) "AAAAAAAAAAAH!"

OLD WOMAN ALL SKIN AND BONE There was an old woman all skin and bone Who lived near the graveyard all alone. O-o-o-o-o-o! She thought she'd go to church one day To hear the parson preach and pray. O-o-o-o-o-o! And when she came to the church-house stile She thought she'd stop and rest awhile. O-o-o-o-o-o! when she came up to the door She thought she'd stop and rest some more. O-o-o-o-o-o! But when she turned and looked around She saw a corpse upon the ground. O-o-o-o-o-o! From its nose down to its chin The worms crawled out, and the worms crawled in. O-o-o-o-o-o! The woman to the preacher said, "Shall I look like that when I am dead?" O-o-o-o-o-o! The preacher to the woman said, "You'll look like that when you are dead!" (Now scream:) "AAAAAAAAAAA!"

ME TIE DOUGH-TY WALKER! There was a haunted house where every night a bloody head fell down the chimney. At least that's what people said. So nobody would stay there overnight. Then a rich man offered two hundred dollars to whoever would do it. And this boy said he would try if he could have his dog with him. So it was all settled. The very next night the boy went to the house with his dog. To make it more cheerful, he started a fire in the fireplace. Then he sat in front of the fire and waited, and his dog waited with him. For a while nothing happened. But a little after midnight he heard someone singing softly and sadly off in the woods. The singing sounded something like this: "Me tie dough-ty walker!" "It's just somebody singing," the boy told himself, but he was frightened. Then his dog answered the song!Softly and sadly, it sang: "Lynchee kinchy colly molly dingo dingo!" The boy could not believe his ears. His dog had never uttered a word before. Then a few minutes later, he heard the singing again. Now it was closer and louder, but the words were the same: "Me tie dough-ty walker!" This time the boy tried to stop his dog from answering. He was afraid that whoever was singing would hear it and come after them. But his dog paid no attention, and again it sang: "Lynchee kinchy colly molly dingo dingo!" A half-hour later the boy heard the singing again. Now it was in the back yard, and the song was the same: "ME TIE DOUGH-TY WALKER!" Again the boy tried to keep his dog quiet. But the dog sang out louder then ever: "LYNCHEE KINCHY COLLY MOLLY DINGO DINGO!" Soon the boy heard the singing again. Now it was coming down the chimney: "ME TIE DOUGH-TY WALKER!" The dog sang right back: "LYNCHEE KINCHY COLLY MOLLY DINGO DINGO!" Suddenly a bloody head fell out of the chimney. It missed the fire and landed right next to the dog. The dog took one look and fell over--dead from fright. The head turned and stared at the boy. Slowly it opened its mouth, and-- (Turn to one of your friends and scream:) "AAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"WHAT DO YOU COME FOR?" There was an old woman who lived all by herself, and she was very lonely. Sitting in the kitchen one night, she said, "Oh, I wish I had some company." No sooner had she spoken than down the chimney tumbled two feet from which the flesh had rotted. The old woman's eyes bulged with terror. Then two legs dropped to the hearth and attached themselves to the feet. Then a body tumbled down, then two arms, and a man's head. As the old woman watched, the parts came together into a great, gangling man. The man danced around and around the room. Faster and faster he went. Then he stopped, and he looked into her eyes. "What do you come for?" she asked in a small voice that shivered and shook. "What do I come for?" he said. "I come--for YOU!" (As you shout the last words, stamp your foot and jump at someone nearby.)

THE WALK My uncle was walking down a lonely dirt road one day. He came upon a man who also was walking down that road. The man looked at my uncle, and my uncle looked at the man. The man was scared of my uncle, and my uncle was scared of that man. But they kept on walking, and it began to get dark. The man looked at my uncle, and my uncle looked at the man. The man was very scared of my uncle, and my uncle was very scared of that man. But they kept on walking, and they came to a big woods. It was getting darker. And the man looked at my uncle, and my uncle looked at the man. The man was really scared of my uncle, and my uncle was really scared of that man. But they kept on walking, and deep down into the woods they went. It was getting darker. And the man looked at my uncle, and my uncle looked at the man. The man was terrible scared of my uncle, and my uncle was terrible scared of- (Now SCREAM!)

THE BIG TOE A boy was digging at the edge of the garden when he saw a big toe. He tried to pick it up, but it was stuck to something. So he gave it a good hard jerk, and it came off in his hand. Then he heard something groan and scamper away. The boy took the toe into the kitchen and showed it to his mother. "It looks nice and plump," she said. "I'll put it in the soup, and we'll have it for supper." That night his father carved the toe into three pieces, and they each had a piece. Then they did the dishes, and when it got dark they went to bed. The boy fell asleep almost at once. But in the middle of the night, a sound awakened him. It was something out in the street. It was a voice, and it was calling to him. "Where is my to-o-o-o-o-e?" it groaned. When the boy heard that, he got very scared. But he thought, "It doesn't know where I am. It never will find me." Then he heard the voice once more. Only now it was closer. "Where is my to-o-o-o-o-e?" it groaned. The boy pulled the blankets over his head and closed his eyes. "I'll go to sleep," he thought. "When I wake up it will be gone." But soon he heard the back door open, and again he heard the voice. "Where is my to-o-o-o-o-e?" it groaned. Then the boy heard footsteps move through the kitchen into the dining room, into the living room, into the front hall. Then slowly they climbed the stairs. Closer and closer they came. Soon they were in the upstairs hall. Now they were outside his door. "Where is my to-o-o-o-o-e?" the voice groaned. His door opened. Shaking with fear, he listened as the footsteps slowly moved through the dark toward his bed. Then they stopped. "Where is my to-o-o-o-o-e?" the voice groaned. (At this point, pause. Then jump at the person next to you and shout:) "YOU'VE GOT IT!" "The Big Toe" also has another ending. When the boy hears the voice calling for its toe, he finds a strange- looking-creature up inside the chimney. The boy is so frightened he can't move. He just stands there and stares at it. Finally, he asks: "W-w-w-what you got such big eyes for?" And the creature answers: "To look you thro-o-o-ugh and thro-o-o-ugh!" "W-w-w-what you got such big claws for?" "To scra-a-a-tch up your gra-a-a-ve!" "W-w-w-what you got such a big mouth for?" "To Swallow you who-o-o-le!" "W-w-w-what you got such sharp teeth for?" "TO CHOMP YOUR BONES!" (As you give the last line, pounce on one of your friends.)
