Cherries on a plate.

Can anyone help me.....there used to be a rhyme about cherry stones. When you ate a cherry you put the stone on the plate, etc,etc...can anyone remember the rhyme?:thumb:

 

Hmm I cant remember it but now I fancy going to pick some cherries! :D

I remember one about something like...........soldier,sailor, rich man, poor man, beggarman, thief - it was supposed to tell you who you would marry

 

That was prunes fmay, school dinners.:eek: 02

 

Celia and fmay

I am a bit confused mesel now....it was the soldier, sailor one I was thinking about...but I thought that was with cherry stones???:confused:

Although why I would want to marry another fella??

 

Gawd and they let him run a pub.... sheesh

 

The one I know is Tinker, Tailor, Soldier,Sailor,Richman,Poorman,Beggerman,Thief.I usually do it with any fruit that I get lots of stones or pips from but I always seem to end up with Poorman or Thief,never Richman,though not sure what I would do with a sailor if I had one:rolleyes::D

 

Help him hoist his petard perhaps:rolleyes::D

 

There is an 'e' at the end of one:thumb:

You havn't said whether this is the right rhyme

 

Rhyme...I don't honestly know now.....:confused:

 

They are in season,not to pricey..........I just love em.

 

I mis-read this - I thought it said 'cherry on a plate', so I was going to suggest....

Jelly on the plate, jelly on the plate
Wibble, wobble.............................

good job I read the rest of the thread first, lol. ?????????

cheers

 

I remembered the tinker tailor one the next day, that was to do with cherry stones, I even remember spreading them round the edge of the plate. I never got the rich man either.
