Now you’re away from me.
How many friends you have.
How to say ‘I love you’ in other languages.
Play begun.
Let us try !
Kate Greenaway.
THE CUCKOO
The cuckoo comes in April,
He sings his song in May,
And in the middle of June,
He changes his tune
And then he flies away.
MY CAT
I have a cat.
He has two ears
His name is Ned.
Upon his head.
And on his legs,
Are four small feet.
Don’t you think
My cat is sweet ?
Lorna Downman.
DIDDLE DIDDLE
Hey ! Diddle Diddle the cat
Played the fiddle.
The cow jumped over the moon,
The little dog laughed
To see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
PUSSY CAT
Pussy cat, Pussy cat, where have you been?
I’ve been to London to look at the Queen.
Pussy cat, Pussy cat, what did you do there?
I frightened a little mouse under the chair !
BLACK SHEEP
Baa, baa black sheep…
Have you any wool ?
Yes, Sir, yes Sir
Three bags full
One for my master
One for my dame
One for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.
RUB DUB DUB
Rub a dub dub
Three men in a tub
The butcher, the baker
And he candlestick-maker
And they all jumped over
A hot potato !!
FREDDIE
Freddie is a funny fellow
Everything he likes is yellow.
Yellow tables, yellow floors,
Yellow chairs and yellow doors !
Freddie looks a funny fellow
When he paints his nose bright yellow !
JOHNNY SO-SILLY THE RAINBOW BOY
Johnny So-Silly wears blue on Monday
Wears pink on Tuesday
Wears green on Wednesday
Wears red on Thursday
Wears white on Friday
But yellow on Saturday
Wants to wear black on Sunday
And starts again the next day
This is the end of the story.
Rose Marie Hodgson
THE POLICEMAN
The policeman walks with heavy tread,
Left, right, left, right
Swings his arms, holds up his head,
Left, right, left, right.
E.H. Adams.
