ReplyDelete5d Outstanding old part of building (5)
24A. How do we get O in owing?
ReplyDeleteO is from Outstanding.
DeleteNo Cdr
DeleteOutstanding - def
old - O
part of building - WING
Where did you get 'old part of building' from? It's not in the clue
DeleteSorry. I was not looking at 24a of this crossword.
Delete26A I used to read a poem in primary class which started as :-
ReplyDeleteTowhee Towhee Towhee
Will you listen to me etc
Anyone knows this poem? Iam not getting in google search
to-whit to-whit to-whee
Deletewill you listen to me?
who stole eggs i laid
and the nice nest i made
Not I, said the sheep, oh no
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't treat a poor bird so
I gave wool the nest to line
But the nest was none of mine
Baa, baa, said the sheep, oh no,
I wouldn't treat a poor bird so
The poem may have some more lines but I am not able to help as of now.
ReplyDeleteBig books of nursery rhymes that I had were all given away to children.
Cdr
ReplyDeleteto-whit to-whit to-whee will you listen to me? who stole eggs i laid and the nice nest i made
Put the above words in entirety in Google search box.
From the returns you get, click "Our Children's Songs".
You can read the whole poem which is long as I said above.
It is an image, so I can't copy-paste the lines.
Search fee; A word of thanks will do.

ReplyDeleteWho Stole the Bird's Nest?
Nursery Rhyme
To-whit! to-whit! to-whee!
Will you listen to me?
Who stole four eggs I laid,
And the nice nest I made?
Not I, said the cow, moo-oo!
Such a thing I'd never do.
I gave you a wisp of hay,
But did not take your nest away;
Not I, said the cow, moo-oo!
Such a thing I'd never do.
Bob-o-link! Bob-o-link!
Now, what do you think?
Who stole a nest away
From the plum-tree to-day?
Not I, said the dog, bow-wow!
I wouldn't be so mean, I vow.
I gave some hairs the nest to make,
But the nest I did not take;
Not I, said the dog, bow-wow!
I would not be so mean, I vow.
Coo-coo! coo-coo! coo-coo!
Let me speak a word or two:
Who stole that pretty nest
From little Robin Redbreast?
Not I, said the sheep; oh, no,
I would not treat a poor bird so;
I gave the wool the nest to line,
But the nest was none of mine.
Baa! baa! said the sheep; oh, no!
I wouldn't treat a poor bird so.
Caw! caw! cried the crow,
I should like to know
What thief took away
A bird's nest to-day.
Chuck! chuck! said the hen,
Don't ask me again;
Why, I haven't a chick
Would do such a trick.
We all gave her a feather,
And she wove them together.
I'd scorn to intrude
On her and her brood.
Chuck! chuck! said the hen,
Don't ask me again.
Chirr-a-whirr! chirr-a-whirr!
We will make a great stir.
Let us find out his name,
And all cry - For shame!
A little boy hung down his head,
And went and hid behind the bed;
For he stole that pretty nest
From little Robin Redbreast;
And he felt so full of shame
He did not like to tell his name.
I used to extract lines from image file by using OCR. But now I don't have that facility.
