Here's my question for today. In the children's nonsense song, what did the bear see when he went over the mountain? Thank you, Jessie.  I may even know this one. "The other side of the mountain is all that he could see." |

It looks like a right answer to me. Congrats, Beth.
While we're waiting for your question, I'll give one of my own.
There's a song about the slave trade that goes like this,
In America you'll get food to eat
Won't have to run through the jungle
And scuff up your feet
You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day
It's great to be an American
What's the name of the song, the song writer and singer?

Thanks, Jessie!
My question ...
Benny Hill's theme song (from his TV show) was background music for Hill's wild and crazy antics.
What was its name and who recorded it?

Name one of those books.

Now that you answered a question, you can ask one, Lin. The only rule about asking is that we can only do that once a day.

I've earned a question so I'll go ahead and spend it. It is an ancient Mariner,
And he stoppeth one of three.
'By thy long grey beard and glittering eye,
Now wherefore stop'st thou me?
I need the name, the poet and who the mariner stopped. No points, no prizes, just the opportunity to ask a question of your own. |

I need the name, the poet and who the mariner stopped. No points, no prizes, just the opportunity to ask a question of your own. I know the poem but cannot think of the poet. I'll give it some thought and try later or tomorrow. |

Camp town lady sings this song, doo-dah, doo-dah
How long is the Camp town race track?
Which horse did she bet on?
Who wrote the song?

Hey Transcriber! Good to see you posting. That's too easy. Years ago, they called this a minstrel song and it was pretty racist. I guess it still is. 5 miles long Stephen Foster wrote it. oops I don't know the horse she bet on! If it comes to me, I'll be back! |

I bet my money on a bob tailed nag
I think that means we both get to add a question.
Here's mine
