A cheeky little rhyme about tripping up a bandy-legged stranger on the way to sell eggs. Short, silly, and a bit mischievous.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
As I was going to sell my eggs
I met a man with bandy legs,
Bandy legs and crooked toes;
I tripped up his heels, and he fell on his nose.
