One of my players posted this after reading the Chopper Story from the blog. A little something for making your Sandpoint all the creepier
"How 'bout an old skip-rope rhyme:
Chopper, Chopper go away,
Carve and carve another day,
If you see us we'll fly away,
If we see you we won't say.
Because kids are the creepiest 1/2HD creatures in the book."
heh yes sorry dutch. guess i got alcohol on the brain.
Bottom's up!;p

Off topic:
My favourite Jumprope chant.
Mother, Mother, I feel sick.
Go and get the Doctor, quick quick quick
Mother, dear, shall I die?
Yes my darling, by and by.
Had to skip rope in gym in 7th grade, really disturbed the teacher that this was the only way I could skip rope.
And I like the idea of using kids chants for knowledge (local) results. Bardic knowledge for that matter.

I like the one from Jenny Finn:
Jenny Finn, Jenny Finn,
Where ya goin', where ya been?
Whatcha doin', whatcha done?
Can you catch me if I run?
Jenny Finn, Jenny Finn,
Will you see the sea again?
Will you wear a fishy crown,
Or will you stay in London Town?
I don't know if it's an authentic RL song or not, but it has that feel. And the tune is in a minor key which makes it nice and creepy.

Oh, and Greg Keyes' book The Briar King makes good use of children's rhymes as creepy foreshadowing:
Nattering, nittering
Farthing go
The Briar King walks to and fro
Chittering, chattering
With him fly
Greffyns and mantocores in the sky
Dillying, dallying
When you see
The Briar King he'll sure eat thee
Eftsoon, aftsoon
By-come-by
He'll spit you out and break the sky.
