Had this rhyme stuck in my head (about tomatoes, tins and a market) but I couldn’t remember the whole thing. Did a bit of googling and this is what I decided it should be:
To market, to market with my brother jim
When somebody threw a tomato at him
Tomatoes are soft & they don’t bruise the skin
But this one killed Jim; it was wrapped in a tin!
Sites I found with different versions of the rhyme
- The Madhouse :: View topic – A bawdy poem
- Google cached page
- Scout Songs
- Looking for a Song: Somebody threw a tomato at him
- Essential Baby Forum – Jim
