Another spelling chant, sort of

My niece and her friend, Perry. reminded me that another old schoolyard rhyme has spelling in it. However, they had learned some additional lines I've never heard. Here is the rhyme as told by Molly. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Bonnie and Michael sittin' in a tree,
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
First comes love,
Then comes marriage,
Then comes the baby in the baby carriage,
That's not all
That's not all
The baby's throwing poo against the wall,
That's not all
That's not all
The baby's drinking alcohol

Good for you, girls, for continuing this folkloric tradition.
