Related to Kipling's "Gods of the Copybook Headings."

Though when you're talking about old sayings, the first thing that came to mind was a couple of rhymes I learned from my great-grandmother:

To bed to bed, sleepyhead.

Let's wait a while, said slow.

Get the pan, said Greedy Nan

Let's eat before we go!

And another:

Beans, beans, the musical fruit!

The more you eat, the more you toot!

The more you toot, the better you feel!

Let's have beans at every meal!
