Jack and Jill

On a very N. Indian note, since I'm just back from a vacation to the cow belt, I found this really cute...

Jackwa aur Jillwa
Gaye upar Hillwa
Paani bhari ke waaste...

Jackwa gir gawa
Uka khopdiya phoot gawa
Aur Jillwa awat ludkan  pooore raaste...

Jackwa aur Jillwa = Jack and Jill
Gaye upar Hillwa = went up the hill
Paani bhari ke waaste...= to fetch a pail of water

Jackwa gir gawa = Jack fell down
Uka khopdiya phoot gawa = and broke his crown
Aur Jillwa awat ludkan pooore raaste = and Jill came tumbling after

I was hoping u'd remember ur nursery rhymes ;)

Your nursery rhyme is really funny.

Hey you wouldn't have happened to be in Bombay would you? I saw someone look a lot like you in Bandra where I stay. I was in an auto and passed by quickly so I decided to ask you. :)

Here's another one, and I don't remember the Hindi version of this, mainly because it was much cruder:)
Little Lal Advani
Sat with his TV vahini
Taking his party's rai
He stuck out his thumb,
Hoping to pull out the plum,
And said, 'Can I have a slice of Vaj-pie?'
