"On the Ning Nang Nong" is a poem by the comedian Spike Milligan. The poem was featured in the book named ''Silly Verse For Kids'' which was published in 1959. In 1998 it was voted the UK's favourite comic poem in a nationwide poll, ahead of other nonsense poems by poets such as Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear. This nonsense verse, set to music,〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD-yG2XnxpU〕 became popular in Australia where it was performed weekly on the ABC children's programme Play School, however, it is now only shown on occasion. In December 2007 it was reported that, according to OFSTED, it is among the ten most commonly taught poems in primary schools in the UK. It features on the albums ''No One's Gonna Change Our World'', ''There's A Bear In There'' and ''Play School Favourites'', and on the 'B' side of Milligan's own "Badjelly the Witch". ==Poem== The 18-line poem opens with: :On the Ning Nang Nong :Where the cows go Bong! Several subsequent lines also use the phrase "Nong Nang Ning" or "Nong Ning Nang" (but never "Ning Nong Nang", "Nang Ning Nong" or "Nang Nong Ning"). The poem ends with a crescendo-like "Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!" Various animals, plants and created objects "say" or, more often, "go" various sounds (capitalization in the original): cows go "Bong!", monkeys say "Boo!", trees go "Ping!", tea pots "Jibber-Jabber Joo", mice go "Clang!". Some do this more than once in the poem. The poem's rhyme scheme is AABCCBDDBAACCDDAA. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「On the Ning Nang Nong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
