Tan Tin Wee

Famous quotes containing the words tin and/or wee:

    A ‘spasm band’ is a miscellaneous collection of a soap box, tin cans, pan tops, nails, drumsticks, and little Negro boys. When mixed in the proper proportions this results in the wildest shuffle dancing, accompanied by a bumping rhythm.
    —For the City of New Orleans, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Sudden the wee Elf
    Smiled a wee smile,

    Tugged till the toadstool
    Toppled in two.
    Holding it over him
    Gaily he flew.
    Oliver Herford (1863–1935)
