If you think I look old, you should see my father This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 3 In more recent times, the tune for this rhyme has been used in television commercials, most notably one for Chef Boyardi canned pasta products. I remember the Orwell "1984" sequence well. The book was written 1948 (the year of my birth, and Orwell's death). Orwell transposed the "4" and the "8" in that year, and the result was "1984," the year and title of his book. Clever. Also a depressing scenario.
