BEFORE YOU READ THE SECOND HALF BELOW, PLEASE HAVE A GO AND SEE IF YOU CAN WORK OUT WHAT THIS SPANISH NOTE MEANS IN ENGLISH.
-------------------------------------

 

Si senor
Der dago, forte lorez inaro
Demaint lorez, demar trux
Fulov coosan ensan dux

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Si senor
There they go, forty lorries in a row
Them ain't lorries, them are trucks
Full of cows and hens and ducks

Fooled ya, HEE HEE

My father used to recite this to me in the early 1970’’s. Recent Internet research shows this is probably originates in the late 1940’s UK with a slightly different variation of it in the U.S in the 1950’s.

Don’t know when you copied this poem. I remember my grandma reading “si senor”
Identical to your poem.
I was about 8 years old. This was back in 1967.
When did you copy it?
It’s not yours!!!
