I've always loved that saying.

Do you know the rest of that saying?

If wishes were horses, beggers would ride.
If turnips were watches, I'd wear one by my side.
And if 'ifs' and 'ands' were pots and pans
There'd be no work for tinkers!

I wonder if the younger generation knows what a 'tinker' is...?

It was in my Mother Goose book that I read as a child. It probably was similar to the "To market, to market to buy a fat pig ..." sort of traditional songs for children.

I had a Mother Goose book too! I haven't thought about it in years. It's time to revisit. I'm going to look for an ebook of it. I'll bet there's a free iPhone app or something.

I know what a tinker is or rather what he did and how he did it.

But NOT from experience, I read about it in an ancient history book
