pop goes the weasel
The fact that "plastic" rhymes with "spastic" led to some speculation that Scopers were made out of the stuff.

Half a pound of nuts and bolts,
Half a pound of plastic.
Stick them in the washing machine,
Out pops a spastic!


The single redeeming feature of this rhyme is the jubilant bursting out of the washing machine by the freshly manufactured spastic. You could almost imagine him with a rose between his teeth and jazz hands.

The version I learned of this was:

Half a pound of broken limbs,
Half a pound of plastic,
Chuck \'em in a carrier bag
And out pops a spastic........

I can\'t remember if I learned it at Bullamoor, the Allertonshire or the Grammar School.....
