Oh there was a little girl and she had a little curl My Mom used to sing her version of “there was a little man…” The first four lines were those taught to me as a young boy the rest I added in later years as a sort of memory to my mum who loved writing poetry and ‘ditties’.Īrhh…now I’m sad – No more buzzing any more!
