The old gray mare,
She ain’t what she used to be
Ain’t what she used to be,
Ain’t what she used to be
The old gray mare,
She ain’t what she used to be
Many long years ago.
CHORUS
The old gray mare,
She kicked on the whiffletree,
Kicked on the whiffletree,
Kicked on the whiffletree
The old gray mare,
She kicked on the wiffletree
Many long years ago……..
What is a whiffletree? Can anyone tell me what a whiffletree is? :~)
The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again
Regional Note: Whiffletree, a term primarily used in the northeast United States, is derived from the older term whippletree, which is used in the Upper Northern states farther to the west. The fact that whiffletree, the newer term, is used in the Northeast, the older dialect area, illustrates the process of linguistic change. Even as the older word whippletree was spreading westward into a new dialect area, it was evolving into something differentwhiffletreein the area where it originated, as if the older dialect area were somehow trying to keep a step ahead.
Shew! Probably much more than you wanted to know about the etymology, but I like to be comprehensive ;-)
A whiffleball was actually called a whistle ball. Because if you hit it hard enough it would whistle through the air. The first whistle ball was invented in 1879 to be used as a war scare tactic. They would hit the ball hard at the enemy and the enemy would think it was a cannon ball coming in. Thus giving the navy time to reload their cannons.
I know coolcat isnt that gross ? and you put that on your toast…ha ha..mmm bee barf toast …mmmmm…can i have some bee barf in my tea ? ugh….now thanks to you ill never be able to have honey because i forget that little piece of info …..heheheheeh
Hey Blow, I went to bed exhausted from work one night, got in bed with my wife, and being deliriously tired, I turned to her and said,”Good night, Bee Barf…” What do you think she said in response? (I don’t remember what she said. All I remember is seeing stars and little bluebirds spin around my head, and the sound of whistling in my ears…zang!!)

The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again

It’s whistle ball, Whiffle ball because after you get hit in the mouth by accident and losing your front teeth it is hard to pronounce the H sound.
August 21st, 2009 - 2:40 pm
