Traditional Folk Poetry

Steven Wall and Robert Atienza, Jr. share a video of their grandfather Albert Wall bouncing his great grandson on his leg to an old Mennonite rhyming game.  This is the only record we have of this version of the horsey poem.  While it is a shared tradition between Mennonites of both Russian and American tradition, each family seems to have their own signature "version."

Thanks Robert for cleaning this up and sharing!
