unexpected consequences of Knock, knock, ginger
Knock, knock, ginger is a prank or game dating back to 19th-century England, or possibly the earlier Cornish traditional holiday of Nickanan Night. The game is played by children in many cultures. It involves knocking on the front door (or ringing the doorbell) of a victim, then running away before the door can be answered.

Hit the winda – crack!
The baker came out to give 'im a clout
And landed on his back
