The   Swing
       
How   do   you   like

To   go   up   in   a   swing ,

Up   in   the   air   so   blue ?

Oh,   I   do   think   it

The   sheer ,

Best   thing ,

That   each   young   child   could   do .

Up   in   the   air ,

And   past   the   wall ,

To   fly   so   well ,

I’ve   tried .

Lakes   and   trees ,

And   cows   and   all ,

Fill   the   land ,

So   wide .

Till   I   look   down

On   the   grass ,

So   green ,

Down   on   the   roof ,

So   brown .

Up   in   the   air ,

To   fly   once   more ,

Up   in   the   air ,

And   down !

     
     

A   Drink
        
When   I   climb   up ,

To   get   a   drink ,

It   does   not   work ,

The   way   you   think .

I   turn   it   up .

And  “splash”  it   goes ,

And   hits   me   square ,

Right   on   my   nose .

I   turn   it   down ,

To   make   it   small .

And   don’t   get   much ,

To   drink ,   at   all .

    
    

Here   Is   The   Bee   Hive
        
Here   is   the   bee   hive .

Where   are   the   bees ?

They’ve   gone   to   hide ,

So   no   one   can   see .

Soon ,   they   will   creep ,

Right   out   of   their   hive .

One ,   two ,   three ,   four ,

FIVE !   BUZZ !

    
         

Oh ,   No !
        
“So ,   Bo ,

Can   we   go ?

Can   we   go ,

To   and   fro ?”

“No,   not   yet .

I   hurt   my   toe .”

“Bad   luck ,   Bro .

I’ll   go   with   Joe ,

Or   Moe ,

Or   Poe ,

Or   Floe ,

Or   ZOE !”

I   know   a   king ,

Who   likes   to   sing ,

While   he   wears ,

His   big   gold   ring .

He   sings   his   song ,

It’s   way   too   long ,

I   start   to   cry ,

I   know   that’s   wrong .

While   he   sang ,

The   door   bell   rang ,

The   king   did   stop ,

And   yelled   out ,   “Dang !”

Had   he   sung ,

At   the   top   of   his   lungs ,

He’d   not   have   heard ,

The   bell   being   rung .

In England, you might hear someone say, “Hey guv,” which is short for “governor,” and is a show of respect.

     
The spokes in a bicycle tire join at a central hub.

    

The government group called “HUD” stands for “Housing and Urban Development.” 

     
FROM AOCR PHONICS ACTIVITY #3, “MOST FREQUENT WORDS”
     

We saw a black bear in the woods on our hike.

   

Oh no, this egg fell out of its nest.

    

The sun will help to keep us warm on this cold day.

   

On this sci-fi show, they fly a ship to a new world.

    

They scored right at the end of the game.

   

I sat there for a half hour.

   

Let’s use this tool to hold the wood tight.

   

Yes, you can go to Dom’s to play.

   

What’s going on here?

   

What’s the new boy’s name?

        

I have something good to eat for you.

   

I lived in that town for two years.

   

Look at those trees as they sway in the wind.

   

I love this book of her poems.

   

I like food with quite a bit of spice in it.

My   mouth   is   dry ,
   
‘Cause ,   I   am   shy .
   
I’m   scared   to   try ,
   
To   try   to   fly .
   
I   met   a   fox ,
   
A   fox   so   sly ,
   
I   think   he   might   have   been ,
   
A   spy .
    
He   asked   a   lot ,
    
He   tried   to   pry ,
    
“Why   are   you   not ,
    
Up   in   the   sky ?”
   
I   looked   at   him ,
    
With   my   left   eye ,

By – and – by.
