Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Kokopelli say author is unknown. To say is has no author is wrong, because it was, in fact, written, but the author is unknown.

There is a big difference between "author unknown" and "no author". It needs an author to write it in the first place.

    DESCRIPTION: "The eensy weensy spider went up the water spout, Along came the rain and washed the spider out. Along came the sun and dried up all the rain So the eensy weensy spider climbed up the spout again."
    AUTHOR: unknown
    EARLIEST DATE: 1962 (Baring-Gould-MotherGoose)

    ____________________

    "Itsy Bitsy Spider" (also known as "Incy Wincy" or "Eency Weency Spider") is a popular nursery rhyme that describes the adventures of a spider as it ascends, descends and reascends the downspout of a gutter system (or, alternatively, the spout of a teapot). It is usually accompanied by a sequence of gestures that mimic the words of the song. The first published version was in 1962, though it is believed to have existed as a folk song before that.[1]

    [edit] Lyrics
    The lyrics come in various versions:

    The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout.
    Down came the rain, and washed the spider out.
    Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain
    So the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again.
    (Some versions have went instead of climbed.)

    Another version:

    Incy wincy spider climbing up the spout.
    Down came the rain, and washed poor Incy out.
    Out came the sunshine, and dried up all the rain
    So Incy wincy spider climbs up the spout again.
    This version is less well-known:

    Incy Wincy Spider climbed up the tree.
    Down came the snow and made poor Incy freeze.
    Out came the sunshine, and melted all the snow
    So Incy Wincy Spider had another go.
    Recitation of the rhyme is often combined with actions representing the words. For the first (and last) line, alternately touch the thumb of one hand to the index finger of the other. For "Down came the rain" hold both hands up and wiggle the fingers as you lower the hands. For "washed the spider out" sweep the hands to the side. For the third line bring both hands up and then to the sides to sweep out a semi-circle (the sun).

    What's the weirdest dream you've ever had? I can't decide between all the ones I've had, so I chose a random two.

    1. I was in an old run-down house with Harry and Hermione and we went exploring upstairs. There was this HUGE pinball machine (you're-the-ball size huge) and for some reason we had to get across it. There was this net that for some reason if you stepped on it you fell through like liquid (and I don't know how we knew that either) so Hermione had to turn Harry into a frog so he could cross (don't ask).

    2. This one's short. There was a herd of cows stampeding through my backyard eating Cap'n Crunch.
