Can you make sense of this?

2-2 was 1-2,
1-1-1-1 Race,
2-2-1-1-2.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. No idea.

Probably political in origin as most of them are.

2-2 was 1-2,

========================

One-one was a racehorse
Two-two was one (a racehorse) too,
One-one won one race,
Two-two won one too.

Just sat down after getting back from errands, you beat me to it. All it took was hearing it in my head as i read it.

Well, me Mam always said, "It's the women that's got all the brains, and the men have nothin' above their borls."

Thanks for the solve. I never would have got that.

I think it’s what’s called a tongue twister

 

[jujube]

A little tidbit from my childhood. We thought it was a mite naughty back then.

ABCD dogs?

LMNO dogs!

SMR dogs.

CMPN?

I don't get it, jujube!

 

[Bretrick]

I don't get it, jujube!

Care to explain to us no knowledge peoples?

 

[jujube]

OK, translated:

Abie, see the dogs? (ABCD dogs?)

Hell, them'n no dogs! (LMNO dogs.)

Yes, them are dogs. (SMR dogs!)

See them peein'? (CMPN?)

As I said, it was quite the hit in elementary school.

Fun stuff

Reminds me of this oldie;

M R 'piders, M R
C D E D B D Is?

And if you want silly lyrics, there's always the big hit of the 40's:

Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?[4]

(Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy.
A kid'll eat ivy, too. Wouldn't you?

According to legend, it's based on an old child's song that went:

Cowzy tweet and sowzy tweet
and liddle sharksey doisters.

(Cows eat wheat and sows eat wheat
and little sharks eat oysters.)

 

[timoc]

Yes, all this stuff above looks to me suspiciously like the Martian lingo, with a smidgeon of a Venus dialect welded on.
