I know that one...LOL!
I don't call 37/38 too young, although I call 37 = 10 years old!
---song---
There was a crooked man and he had a crooked smile
Had a crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile
Had a crooked cat and he had a crooked mouse
They all lived together in a crooked little house
CHORUS
Well, this crooked little man and his crooked little smile
Took his crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile
Bought some crooked nails and a crooked little bat
Tried to fix his roof with a rat-tat-tat-tat-tat
CHORUS
Now this crooked little man and his crooked cat and mouse
They all live together in a crooked little house
Has a crooked door with a crooked little latch
Has a crooked roof with a crooked little patch
CHORUS
CHORUS
(Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
(Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
(Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
My roof's got a hole in it (my roof's got a hole in it)
My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown

Jacob, I guess you're too young to know the ditty:
"There was a crooked man with a little crooked smile..."
Well done!

Not really relevant to much, but along the lines of what were talking
about
the other day, and after we discussed something similar on another
mailing
list, I yesterday got out a softish leather placemat, and took some
standard
small braille paper sheets, and tried drawing on them using both the
stylus,
but it seems to hook on the paper surface a bit, so just ended up using a
normal ballpoint pen, and the only thing that would really work better is
maybe one with a slightly less fine point, and I suppose another point
behind using something like a pen instead of just something hard/sharp is
sighties will also be to able to look at the drawings after you're done,
even though you're sort of drawing in reverse/from behind from the
tactile
point of view.
Anyway, initially just tried drawing simple shapes like squares, circles,
triangles etc. using my other hand to sort of keep track of where was
drawing, but you can sort of feel the drawn lines from both sides during
the
process, and they came out not too bad - I suppose - and ended up playing
around and drawing a sort of smiley face - a circle where I put a bit of
a
hair fringe on top to cover up a minor problem since think when the
circle
wrapped around, the lines didn't meet 100% right, and after that drew two
little round eyes inside the circle and finished it off with a smiling
line
for a mouth inside as well.
Will still have to get a sighted person to tell me how it looks, but it
feels generally alright from the tactile side, although not 100%
symmetrical, but that's not the end of the world, and it's really a sort
of
first time.
Stay well
