Slebur… slebur…
Si Mantri mangan bubur…
Masih ingat dak dengan cuplikan syair dolanan di atas? Mungkin yang seusia saya atau di atas usia saya pernah dengar, bahkan pernah menyanyikan dan memainkannya. Tapi kalo sekarang saya sudah dak pernah dengar syair itu lagi. Anak-anak kecil sekarang mungkin lebih memilih bermain game di Komputer, Play Station, Nitendo Wii, arena permainan di Plaza atau Mall, de-el-el. Makanya dolanan itu sudah tak pernah dimainkan lagi.
Tapi dak apalah, mungkin mank sudah zamannya berubah. Selain karena lahan kosong untuk bermain anak-anak kecil sekarang sudah jarang ditemui, jalan kampung yang penuh dengan kendaran bermotor yang cukup membahayakan anak-anak, permainan modern pun dipilih para orang tua untuk anak-anaknya sebagai permainan pengganti.
Kembali ke Slebur…Slebur…. Sampeyan tahu dak, kalau dolanan itu berasal dari Belanda? Saya sendiri tadinya juga dak tahu. Tapi setelah baca tulisan Cak Dukut Imam Widodo, saya jadi tahu kalau nyanyian itu dari bahasa Belanda.
Inilah tembang aslinya:
“Sluipur…Sluipdoor.
Driemaal… drimaal onder door.
De laatste wordt gevangen…”
Artinya:
“Merayap bawah… merayap bawah…
Tiga kali… tiga kali… merayap di bawah.
Yang terakhir tertangkap…”
Nah, meskipun baru tahu, tapi saya bangga dengan permaian itu. Namun, untungnya masih ada permaian zaman doeloe yang masih ngetrend dan sering dimainkan anak-anak sekarang, meskipun dak banyak juga. Tahu dak sampeyan? Sampeyan pasti pernah mainan sebuah permainan yang bernama gobak so dor. Permainan yang satu ini ternyata konon cerita berasal dari Inggris lho… Iyo ta? Dari tulisan Cak Dukut Imam Widodo juga dijelaskan kalau Gobak so dor itu aslinya dari kata “Go back to the door!”. Memang ada benarnya juga kan? Coba lihat tata cara dan aturan main dalam Gobak so dor memang seperti itu.
Semoga coretan ini cukup mengobati rasa kangen dengan permainan masa kecil dulu. Dan sudah seharusnya permainan itu dak dilupakan. Bahkan harusnya dilestarikan, dak dibiarkan hilang begitu saja. Dak ngono ta Cak?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
