It makes me want to laugh,

It makes me want to cry.

There are many colours in this world

But I favorite colour is Love!

 If Wishers Were Horses
If wishers were horses, beggars would ride.

If turnips were watches, I would wear one by my side.

And if ‘ifs’’ and ‘ands,’’

Were pots and pans,

There’d be no work for tinkers!

Thread!
There is one that has a head without an eye,

And there’s one that has an eye without a head.

You may find the answer if you try.

And all is said,

Half the answer hangs upon a thread.

Bill and Lil

Bill and Lil went up the hill,
To fetch a pail of milk;
Bill fell down, and broke his tooth,
And Lil came rolling after.

When up Bill got and off did trot,

As fast as he could caper,
To old Dame Bob, who patched his nob
With vinegar and brown paper.

11.
 Jack and Jill
Jack and Jill went up the hill,
To fetch a pail of water;
Jack fell down, and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.

When up Jack got and off did trot,

As fast as he could caper,
To old Dame Dob, who patched his nob
With vinegar and brown paper.

Rain
The rain is falling all around,
It falls on field and tree,
It rains on the umbrellas here,
And on the ships at sea.

 Stories

Sister's Skirts
Whenever Sister moves around,
Her skirts make a ridiculous sound,
They trail behind her up the floor,
And ran after through the door.

39.
 Time to Rise
A birdie with a yellow bill
Hopped upon my window sill,
Cocked his shining eye and said:
"Aren’t you 'shamed, you sleepy-head!"

Looking Forward
When I am grown to man's estate
I shall be very proud and great,
And tell the other girls and boys
Not to meddle with my toys.

 Poems

There Was a Little Girl

There was a little girl

who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her smile.
When she was good
She was a very good,
But when she was bad she was really bad .

13.
 The Wind
Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you;
But when the leaves hang trembling
The wind is passing through.

Who has seen the wind?

Neither you nor I;
But when the trees bow down their heads
The wind is passing by.

Whole Duty of Children

A child should always say what's true,
And speak when he is spoken to,
And behave mannerly at table:
At least as far as he is able.

Finger Play
Original
Five Fat Peas

Five fat peas in a pea pod pressed

(children hold hand in a fist)
One grew, two grew, so did all the rest.
(put thumb and fingers up one by one)
They grew and grew
(raise hand in the air very slowly)
And did not stop,
Until one day
The pod went POP!
(children clap hands together)
 Ten Fingers
I have ten fingers
And they all belong to me, I can make them do things-
Would you like to see?

I can shut them up tight

I can open them wide

I can put them together

I can make them all hide

I can make them jump high

I can make them jump low
I can fold them up quietly

And hold them just so.

Three Little Nickels

Three little nickels in a pocketbook new,

One bought a peppermint, and then there were two,

Two Little nickels before the day was done,

One bought an ice cream come, and then there was one
One little nickel I heard it plainly say,
"I'm going into the piggy bank for a rainy day!"
