132 DORSET CHILDREN'S DOGGEREL RHYMES. 



IV. Inky, pinky, wokey, wum, 



How d'ye like your teaties done ? 

 Can't ye now jest gi'e I wone ? 

 Teaties and cabbage and onions. 



These four counting-out processes are typical of a very 

 large number in existence. Judge Udal in his article before 

 mentioned gives some extremely interesting examples, and 

 I have many more in manuscript. But if all the Dorset 

 children's rhymes were printed, a separate volume would 

 almost be needed. 



This paper is perhaps rather " light " for a Field Club's 

 Proceedings. Some grave readers may dub it a " little 

 childish." Exactly. It is wise sometimes even for Field 

 Club members to become as little children ; on the whole it is 

 such a great mistake to grow up.
