WEE BOLOGNA MAN
Two to forty players. The leader recites:
I'm a wee Bologna Man;
Always do the best you can
To follow the wee Bologna Man.
While doing this he imitates an instrument of an orchestra. The others
imitate him.
This game may be varied, the Bologna man imitating animals or birds,
or making any sound he wishes to make, or he can hop and croak like
a frog, or imitate the motions and noise of an angry cat, or the like.
DRAW A BUCKET OF WATER
This game is played in groups of four. Two players face each other,
clasping hands at full arms' length. The other two face each other in
the same way, with their arms crossing those of the first couple at
right angles. Bracing the feet, the couples sway backward and forward,
singing the following rhyme:
Draw a bucket of water,
For my lady's daughter.
One in a rush,
Two in a rush,
Please, little girl, bob under the bush.
When the last line is sung the players all raise their arms without
unclasping the hands, and place them around their companions, who stoop
to step inside. They will then be standing in a circle with arms around
each other's waists.
