Estudos de Literatura Oral, 6 (2000), pp. 191-197.http://hdl.handle.net/10400.1/1340This paper is an offshoot of fieldwork done from 1992 to 1994 in the United States and Canada during the preparation of a book, Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts: The Subversive Folklore Of Children, co-­‐written with T.K.F. Weisskopf and published by August House in 1995. The majority of informants were children between the ages of five and sixteen, though adult contributions were also solicited to show how the rhymes have altered over the years.engjournal article
