These are some ditties I come out with now and again usually to demonstrate the West Country accent that lurks under the surface:
I be Gloster born and bred
Strong in arm and thick in 'ed.
-:-
Oi can't read an oi can't wroit
But it don't really matter
Cos oi do cum from Glostershoir
An oi can drive a tractor.
I don't know that the next one has any connection with Gloucestershire but my mum used to sing it usually when she'd done something daft:
Oh dear mother what a flower I be
Two young men came courting me
One was blind and the other couldn't see
Oh dear mother what a flower I be.
Thought I'd share them just for the fun of it but if anyone knows where they originated I'd love to hear from you.
What about:

Strong in the airm but thick in
the 'ead! (I think your son told me that one!)
