Step on a crack

1/18/2015

8 Comments

 
Step on a crack,
You’ll break your mother’s back;
Step on a line
You’ll break your father’s spine. 

Step in a ditch,
Your mother’s nose will itch;
Step in the dirt
You’ll tear your father’s shirt

Traditional American

I love this but here's a better one and not so mean to your mom

Step on a crack you have to buy a snack
step to a ditch you'll fall on a stick

Sorry tried my best and it's not so mean to your parents

step on a crack and you break your mamas back, step on a line and you break your fathers spine, step in a hole and you break your siblings skull, step on a square and now there's poison in the air

In the book, Delerium by Lauren Oliver, chapter 5 page 39 there's the rhyme, "Step on a crack, you'll break your mama's back. Step on a stone, you'll end up all alone. Step on a stick, you're bound to get the Sick. Watch where you tread, you'll bring out all the dead."
