Cute Old Rhyme

Mare ze dotes and dozie dotes and little lamzie divie.
A kiddlie divie too wooden you?

This is old rhyme my Mom would say to me when I was young. It wasn't until a few years go I realized the real words.

Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy.
A kid'l eat ivy too, wouldn't you?


I still can't get over it........now if I can just remember that old rhyme that starts with "Playmate come out and play with me"....
