"Cecilia, cilia, mantequilla.
Avocado viente quatro.
Uno,
Dos,
Tres,
Quatro!"
(Translation: "Cecilia, cilia, margerine. Avocado twenty four. One, Two, Three, Four!)

One of many name-rhyming chants my sisters and I used to irritate one another.
My chant for my younger sister was:
"Ly-nette, Ly-nette,
panit,
kulanit,
ininit."
Translation: "Lynette, Lynette, skin ,skinny, bolied water."
I love the drawing (and I love avocados - mmmm), but I don't understand either of the rhymes!
ReplyDeleteCs, thanks. You got them because they are nonsense rhymes in other languages and don't mean anything :-)
ReplyDeleteoh what an awesome Avacado...my favorite...now I have to go and make some Guacamole...yummmmmmm!
ReplyDeleteOh yummy, Diana. I just recently developed a taste for guacamole. I always had avocados in the form of a smoothie and slices in salad.
