I love that rhyme. Posted by Fyfe (Member # 937) on :
That's a wonderful rhyme. My favorite are still:
Celery, raw, Develops the jaw, But celery, stewed, Is more quietly chewed.
and
Shake and shake The catsup bottle: None will come And then a lot'll.
(And then you have Higgledy-Piggledies, which are a whole 'nother ball park.)

Noemon! That's what that is! My comp and I found some on the shores of Lake Huron one winter, and I've never been able to explain it. The ice was in dunes, and it didn't match the flat topography underneath.

So then, what's the different between Rime Ice and Hoar Frost, Noemon? (except that hoar is not so thick?) FG
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
I've always thought that hoarfrost was frozen dew, and rime ice was frozen fog. In practice, the thickness is how you can tell, I think. Of course, this is just what I've picked up, so I could easily be wrong.

quote:I'm hungry so I think I'll take a bite or two of lunch,
Some pizza and some chocolate cake and peanut butter crunch,
A healthy slice of apple pie a pound or so of ham,
A stack of waffles two feet high with boysenberry jam.
I'll follow through with a dozen eggs (I'll scramble them I guess),
With six or seven turkey legs (I could not do with less),
Some rhino roast, some hippo stew, some fresh fillet of horse,
And rest a minute, maybe two? and start the second course.
A poem from back in the fourth grade. I wish I could remember who wrote that, I think it was Anonymous.
