ALL OF ME

My hands are for clapping

My arms can hug tight
My fingers can snap
Or can turn out the light

My legs are for jumping

My eyes help me see
This is my body
And i love all of me!
by Jessica McDonald
DEAR MOTHER
Dear mother, your love is special,
I cannot help but show.
Like flowers in a garden,
Your love makes me grow.

THE FOREST
The forest is the town of trees
Where they live quite at their ease,
With their neighbors at their side
Just as we in cities wide.
By Annette Wynne
 AT THE ZOO
First I saw the white bear, then I saw the black;
Then I saw the camel with a hump upon his back;
Then I saw the grey wolf, with mutton in his maw;
Then I saw the wombat waddle in the straw;
Then I saw the elephant a-waving of his trunk;
Then I saw the monkeys – mercy, how unpleasantly they smelt!

By William Makepeace Thackeray

TWINKLE, TWINKLE,
LITTLE STAR
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
By Jane Taylor
 BAA, BAA,
BLACK SHEEP
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full;
One for the master,
And one for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane
By Rudyard Kipling
 MY KITE
My kite flies high,
I wonder how and why.
With a long tail and wings,
See how my kite swings!
Holding its thread in my hand,
I feel so happy and grand.

 RABBIT
A rabbit
Bit
A little bit
An itty-bitty
Little bit of beet
Then bit
By bit
He bit
Because he liked the taste of it

by Mary Ann Hoberman

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

by Robert Louis Stevenson

 CHOO-CHOO
TRAIN
Choo-choo train, on the track,
Whistle blowing, no turning back.
Wheels go round, steam in the air,
Adventure waits, so let's all prepare!

 FIREFLY
A little light is going by,
Is going up to see the sky,
A little light with wings.
I never could have thought of it,
To have a little bug all lit
And made to go on wings.

By Elizabeth Madox Roberts

THE PURPLE
COW
I never saw a purple cow,
I never hope to see one,
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I’d rather see than be one!

By Gelett Burgess
 FRUITS
COLOURS
An apple is Red,
I like eating bread,
Banana is yellow,
I am jolly fellow,
Pear is green,
I am neat and clean,
Coconut is brown,
I am little clown,
All fruits are nice,
They make us healthy and wise!!
By Neha batrae
 THE RAINBOW
My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky;
So was it when my life began,
So is it now I am a man,
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The child is father of the man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
By WILLIAM WORDSWORTH.
THE CROCODILE
How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!
How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in,
With gently smiling jaws!
By Lewis Carroll
SNOWBALL
I made myself a snowball
As perfect as could be.
I thought I'd keep it as a pet
And let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas
And a pillow for its head.
Then last night it ran away,
But first it wet the bed.

THE LITTLE
PLANT
In the heart of a seed,
Buried deep, so deep,
A dear little plant
Lay fast asleep.

"Wake!" said the sunshine,

"And creep to the light."
"Wake!" said the voice
Of the raindrops bright.

The little plant heard,

And it rose to see
What the wonderful
Outside world might be.
by Kate Brown
 NOW WE ARE SIX
When I was One,
I had just begun.
When I was Two,
I was nearly new.
When I was Three
I was hardly me.
When I was Four,
I was not much more.
When I was Five,
I was just alive.
But now I am Six,
I'm as clever as clever,
So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.
By A.A. Milne
SEE THE BUG
See the bug the rug.
I will give his legs a tug.
See him run, see him go.
He did not like it, no! no!
See him hop, on the mop.
See him hide,make me stop.
I will stop, I will not tug.
You are safe, Little bug.
By Annette Wynne
LOVE BETWEEN
BROTHERS AND
SISTERS
Whatever brawls disturb the street,
There should be peace at home;
Where sisters dwell and brothers meet,
Quarrels should never come.
Birds in their little nests agree;
And ’tis a shameful sight,
When children of one family
Fall out and chide and fight.
By ISAAC WATTS.
IF I HAD BUT TWO
LITTLE WINGS
If I had but two little wings
And were a little feathery bird,
To you I’d fly, my dear!
But thoughts like these are idle things
And I stay here.
But in my sleep to you I fly:
I’m always with you in my sleep!
The world is all one’s own.
And then one wakes, and where am I?
All, all alone.
By SAMUEL T. COLERIDGE.e
 THE DAYS OF
THE MONTH
Thirty days hath September,
April, June, and November;
February has twenty-eight alone.
All the rest have thirty-one,
Excepting leap-year—that’s the time
When February’s days are twenty-nine.

By OLD SONG.
 PIPPA
The year’s at the spring,
The day’s at the morn;
Morning’s at seven;
The hillside’s dew pearled;
The lark’s on the wing;
The snail’s on the thorn;
God’s in His heaven—
All’s right with the world!

By ROBERT BROWNING.
LITTLE THINGS
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.
Thus the little minutes,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of eternity.
By EBENEZER COBHAM BREWER.
 GOODNIGHT
MOON
Goodnight moon, so soft and round,
Casting shadows all around.
Stars twinkle, night is here,
Time to rest and sleep, my dear.
