  4. Wow! That brings back memories ^^ i learned it at 3rd grade, at first i thought my teacher  went nuts, great story as well.

  5. Tickey story here.

  6. yea i learned that in like kindergarten!

  7. I learned it as "ticky ticky tembo no so rembo u ma muchi gama gama guchi."  There is a children's story of this rhyme that is writen by Arlen Mosel called Ricky Ticky Tembo.

  8. Its actually not a rhyme but a name from a story called "Tikki Tikki Tembo".  The name is: Tikki Tikki Tembo No Sarimbo Hari Kari Bushkie Perry Pem Do Hai Kai Pom Pom Nikki No Meeno Dom Barako.  About a chinese boy and his brother  If you would like to read the story, visit the link below.

    ((Tikki Tikki Tembo not to be confused with Ricky Ticky Tavi.))

    Also I have read the name in another version as Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo.  But that is the recreation of original tale to my knowledge.

  9. Ticky Ticky Tembo No Sarimbo Hari Kari Bushkie Perry Pem Do Hai Kai Pom Pom Nicky No Meeno Dom Barako was a brother to Sam. Sam and Ticky Ticky Tembo No Sarimbo Hari Kari Bushkie Perry Pem Do Hai Kai Pom Pom Nicky No Meeno Dom Barako were playing in the garden when suddenly Sam fell in the Well. Ticky Ticky Tembo No Sarimbo Hari Kari Bushkie Perry Pem Do Hai Kai Pom Pom Nicky No Meeno Dom Barako ran to his mother and says

    ‘Sam has fallen in the well.

    ‘What?’ she cries ‘Sam in the well, go tell your father’ so he does.

    ‘Father, Sam has fallen in the well,’

    ‘O dear’ says his dad, ‘we had best get the gardener to get the ladder and get Sam out of the well’, so they did and Sam was very happy and a bit wet.

    A few days later the boys were playing again in the garden but this time as they played

    Ticky Ticky Tembo No Sarimbo Hari Kari Bushkie Perry Pem Do Hai Kai Pom Pom Nicky No Meeno Dom Barako fell in the well.

    Sam rushed to his mother and said ‘Mummy, Ticky Ticky Tembo No Sarimbo Hari Kari Bushkie Perry Pem Do Hai Kai Pom Pom Nicky No Meeno Dom Barako has fallen in the well!’

    ‘What!, she cries, ‘Ticky Ticky Tembo No Sarimbo Hari Kari Bushkie Perry Pem Do Hai Kai Pom Pom Nicky No Meeno Dom Barako has fallen in the well, we had better tell your father’ so Sam did.

    ‘Daddy, Ticky Ticky Tembo No Sarimbo Hari Kari Bushkie Perry Pem Do Hai Kai Pom Pom Nicky No Meeno Dom Barako has fallen in the well’.

    ‘What!’ says Sams father, ‘Ticky Ticky Tembo No Sarimbo Hari Kari Bushkie Perry Pem Do Hai Kai Pom Pom Nicky No Meeno Dom Barako has fallen in the water, we had better call the gardener to get the ladder’, so Sam did.

    ‘Mr. Gardener, please can you help Ticky Ticky Tembo No Sarimbo Hari Kari Bushkie Perry Pem Do Hai Kai Pom Pom Nicky No Meeno Dom Barako has fallen in the well’ said Sam

    ‘What!, says the gardener, ‘Ticky Ticky Tembo No Sarimbo Hari Kari Bushkie Perry Pem Do Hai Kai Pom Pom Nicky No Meeno Dom Barako is in the well I had better bring the ladder’, and so he did.

    After so long down the well, Ticky Ticky Tembo No Sarimbo Hari Kari Bushkie Perry Pem Do Hai Kai Pom Pom Nicky No Meeno Dom Barako was very nearly drowned, but the Gardener rescued him and he soon got better............

    And so it is that from this day since the people of China have always used short names. It is safer.

  10. that was his name. all of his name. didn't he fall down a well or sumthin and some1 went to tell some1 and kept sending that person to tell some1 else??  and the morrol of this story is not to name ur child with long names.
