Fado Fado When I was a child in Crumlin we would say a rhyme that went something like this.

Ash Wednesday Holy Thursday when Jack went to school His mother made Pancakes, I forget the rest does any old ancient person like me remember them

It might be a version of this one.

Shrove Tuesday, Ash Wednesday
Poor Jack went to plow
His wife made some pancakes
And didn’t know how.
She flipped them and tossed them,
And made them so black
She made them so awful,
She poisoned poor Jack
Plow Monday, Shrove Tuesday
When the boys went to plow
My mother made some pancakes
And she didn’t know how.
She buttered them, she sugared them,
She made them turn black.
She made them so awful,
She poisoned poor Jack.
