I keep thinking about a couple of spoken word LPs of poetry we played to death when we were kids. I saw one volume for sale on discogs and I really want it. Fragments of those verses have lived in my head for decades, but it'd be nice to hear the intact versions again.

I supposedly have a name that cannot be rhymed. But I think "panther pee" works pretty well!
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

When I was a child, many years ago, a kid named Dave Rose and I both hated when we would have to play "Ring Around the Rosie".

When I was a child, we would play a game called Relievio which was team hide-and-go-seek. An area was marked as the jail and captured members (you had to be tagged, not just spotted to be caught) were placed there. However, if an uncaptured member tagged the captured members, they were freed and could hide again. I would do this. I would hide near the jail and as the other team scattered to find my team, I would go to the jail. After most of my teammates were captured, I would tell them that I had not been captured yet and free them all.

I used to play games like that. I prefered hide and seek type games to purely physically ones like tag because I was a terribly unathletic child - on land. I did pretty well in water though.

I never had to worry about cooties either. I think we had a different slang term for them growing up, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.

For a while I thought "lousy" just meant bad. But it also means that you have lice (singular "louse")

My maternal grandfather would call ice cream "lousy cream." I never understood why, but he said it in such a funny way, I didn't mind.
Still "Fickles" to my friends.

In the Philippines, ice cream sold at little carts on the street is called "dirty ice cream". but it's oh so good - we would usually get chocolate, ube and cheese flavors - and I never got sick from it

My stepfather would give us Chinese mustard when we had head colds. That cleared the sinuses right up.

My father grew his own horseradish. Once when he was chopping it up in a blender, I took a smell right after. My nose was on fire.
