Goosey Gander Candy

The earliest recorded version of this rhyme is in Gammer Gurton's Garland or The Nursery Parnassus published in London in 1784. Like most early versions of the rhyme it does not include the last four lines:

Goose-a goose-a gander,

Where shall I wander?

Up stairs and down stairs,

In my lady's chamber;

There you'll find a cup of sack

And a race of ginger

So Gossey Gander has been on the go for a long time, think how many children through the ages have sung that, when rhymes, songs, stories and the Bible were all that they had to entertain them. As I child I loved Little House on the Prairie, they had nothing, wooden toys that Pa made were their treasure possessions. Oh when live was simple and children were Innocent.

Christmas will be more than a wooden toy, there is no point feeling guilty, times have changed. And they change in so many ways, I no longer spoil my children because I can, but I restrict what they get in the hope that they appreciate it more, do you think it works? I doubt it! But as a parent you want to do your best for your children, I fail terrible in giving them my undivided attention, but they are happy kits and hopefully will turn out good adults.

I gave in recently and now they both have pets, the guinea pigs are not fussed over as much as they were, I am sure they are enjoying the peace. The hens are still not comfortable in there new home as were have yet to see any eggs. But he's up every morning to look, I even spotted golf balls placed in the nesting boxes, that must be some sort of incentive for them to lay?

Do you think this goose will lay a golden egg?
One winner will be drawn next Wednesday.
