[New-Poetry] ninna nanna

[Anny Ballardini]

I am sorry. I googled "Mano Minuta, ..." but nothing showed up. I am not that good at Italian riddles. 

The only one I knew that my mother told me was:

Batti batti le manine
...

and it required clapping hands!
Ciao, Anny

  Here's another (clapping hands)

  Mano Minutz, Mano minutz

  (don't remember the rest)

  Anny?  Any help?

  Which nursery rhyme is it? I think most children know this lullaby:

    Anny -- have I asked you this before? I have an entire nursery rhyme in Italian, in my memory, virtually the only thing I remember from my year in Italy when I was 9. I'm wondering if it's something that Italian children know, or whether I am the only person in the world who remembers it.
