Sugar and spice, and everything nice... etc.

What are boys made of?
Is there a full version of this poem, or at least how did you learn it?

If you're going to google, don't bother. Seems there is already a controversy on the subject... and I just want to know how you learned it.

Actually, if you do find a credible site I'll listen... but I don't want the text of some stupid forum user like you or me.

My wife and her brother had an argument on the subject, so consider this research.

If you found contention in your Google search Phlab, what makes you think you won't get contrary answers here?

I want to know how you learned the poem. I expect a lot of different answers. I might even divide the regions geographically. I just need answers, and I feel all of them are probably right after what I read googlinging.

Actually, if anyone has a kid's book with this poem it would be a great help!

I've got a book I'm going to check now.

Uh, I have no idea where / who I learned it from....I was VERY young and it just "appeared" in my life.

"Sugar and spice and all things nice, that's what little girls are made from. Snips and snails and puppy dogs tails, that's what little boys are made from"

I was born in 1959, and I'm English....

Hope it helps 🙂

I think nursery rhymes are annoying, but it go's;

"What are little girls made of, sugar and spice and everything nice."

"What are little boys made of, snips and snails and puppy dog tails.

Having said that, I am offended. What the hell is a snip?
