Poor Shadow
Everything has a shadow,
A mountain, a bird or a ball.
Only a poor, poor shadow,
Hasn’t a shadow at all! 
Poem by Ilo Orleans
The Winds
Mister East gave a feast.
Mister North laid the cloth.
Mister West did his best.
Mister South burnt his mouth,
Eating cold potato.
The Pigs
Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee,
Hungry pigs as pigs could be,
For their dinner had to wait,
Down beyond the barnyard gate.
Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee,
Climbed the barnyard gate to see,
Peeping through the gate so high,
But no dinner could they spy.
Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee,
Got down, sad as pigs could be,
But the gate soon opened wide,
And they scampered forth outside.
Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee,
What was their delight to see?
Dinner ready, not far off,
Such a full and tempting trough!
Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee,
Greedy pigs as pigs could be,
For their dinner ran pell–mell,
In the trough both Piggies fell.
Poem by Emelie Poulsson
Play Days
How many days has my baby to play?
Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
We Built A Castle Near The Rocks
We built a castle,
Near the rocks.
We built it out of sand.
Our fortress was,
An ice-cream box,
With turret, tall and grand.
Our men were twigs,
Our guns were straws,
From which we’d sipped at lunch.
We had the very best of wars,
Till someone’s foot,
WENT, CRUNCH!
Poem by Joan Walsh Anglund
Kitty-Cat And Queen
“Kitty-cat, Kitty-cat,
Where have you been?”
“I’ve been to London,
To look at the Queen.”
“Kitty-cat, Kitty-cat,
What did you there?”
“I frightened a little mouse,
Under the chair.”
The Gold-Tinted Dragon
What’s the good of a wagon,
Without a dragon,
To pull you for mile after mile?
An elegant, lean one,
A gold-tinted green one,
Wearing a dragonly smile.
You’ll sweep down the valleys,
You’ll sail up the hills,
Your dragon will shine in the sun.
As you rush by,
The people will cry,
“I wish that my wagon had one!”
Poem by Karla Kuskin
The Man In Our Town
There was a man in our town,
And he was wondrous wise.
He jumped into a bramble bush,
And scratched out both his eyes.
But when he saw his eyes were out,
With all his might and main,
He jumped into another bush,
And scratched ’em in again.
Picnic Day
Sing a song of picnics,
Bread and butter spread,
Greenery all around about,
And cherries overhead!
Poem by Rachel Field
The Clock
There’s a neat little clock,
In the schoolroom it stands,
And it points to the time,
With its two little hands.
And may we, like the clock,
Keep a face clean and bright,
With hands ever ready,
To do what is right.
Home
The sea is ringed around with hills,
And scalloped with white foam.
I’ve filled my pockets full of shells,
And now I’m going home.
Poem by Jean Jaszi
Winter
Cold and raw, the north wind does blow,
Bleak in the morning early.
All the hills are covered with snow,
And winter’s now come, clearly.
Five Years Old
Please, everybody,
Look at me!
Today I’m FIVE years old,
You see!
And after this,
I won’t be four,
Not ever, ever,
Anymore!
I won’t be three,
Or two, or one,
For that was when,
I’d first begun.
Now I’ll be five a while, and then,
I’ll soon be something else, again!
Poem by Marie Louise Allen
Little Jumping Joan
Here I am,
Little jumping Joan,
When nobody’s with me,
I’m always alone.

Lived under a hill,
And if she’s not gone,
She lives there still.
Roly Poly Bowling!
Roll it, bowl it, roll it,
Set the ball a-rolling.
Round and round and round and round,
Roly poly bowling.
Cinderella Ice Cream
Cinderella dressed in green,
Went upstairs to eat ice cream.
Cinderella dressed in lace, and
Went upstairs, to powder her face.
When
When I was a bachelor,
I lived by myself.
And all the bread and cheese I got,
I laid up on the shelf.
The rats and mice,
They made such a strife,
I was forced to go to London,
To find me a wife.
The streets were so bad,
And the lanes were so narrow,
I was forced to bring my wife home,
In a wheelbarrow.
The wheelbarrow broke,
And my wife had a fall.
Down came wheelbarrow,
Little wife and all.
The Month Of May
There are twelve months in all the year,
As I hear many say.
But the merriest month in all the year,
Is the merry month of May!
Windy Nights
Whenever the moon and stars are set,
Whenever the wind is high,
All night long in the dark and wet,
A man goes riding by.
Late in the night, when the fires are out,
Why does he gallop, and gallop about?
Whenever the trees are crying aloud,
And ships are tossed at sea,
By, on the highway, low and loud,
By at the gallop goes he.
By at the gallop he goes, and then,
By he comes back at the gallop again.
Poem by Robert Louis Stevenson
The Bridge
Where goes the bridge?
Up in the air,
All across the water,
To way over there!
Poem by Olive Beaupre Miller
Cock-A-Doodle–Doo
Cock-A-Doodle-do!
My dame has lost her shoe.
My master’s lost his fiddle-stick,
And knows not what to do.
Cock-a-doodle-do!
What is my dame to do?
Till master finds his fiddle-stick,
She’ll dance without her shoe.
Runaway
I think today,
I’ll run away.
My heart is filled with sorrow.
I’ll disappear,
For one whole year,
Or else, come back tomorrow.
Poem by William Wise
Lucy Locket
Lucy Locket lost her pocket,
Kittie Fisher found it.
There was not a penny in it,
But a ribbon round it!
Old King Cole
Old King Cole
Was a merry old soul,
And a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe,
And he called for his bowl,
And he called for his fiddlers three!
And every fiddler,
He had a fine fiddle,
And a very fine fiddle had he.
“Twee deedle dee,
tweedle dee,”
Went the fiddlers.
Oh, there’s none so rare,
As can compare,
With King Cole and his fiddlers three.
Twinkle Little Bat
Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
How I wonder what you’re at!
Up above the world you fly,
Like a tea-tray in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle!
Poem by Lewis Carroll
A Well
As round as an apple,
As deep as a cup,
And all the king’s horses,
Can’t fill it up.
Tell Me Little Woodworm
Tell me little woodworm,
Eating through the wood,
Surely all that sawdust,
Can’t do you any good.
Heavens! Little woodworm,
You’ve eaten all the chairs.
So, THAT’S why poor old Grandad’s
Sitting outside on the stairs.
Poem by Spike Milligan
Flying Children
If I could walk for two weeks and a day,
And go where the hills meet the sky,
I think I’d find children who play in the clouds,
And who can really fly!
Coffee And Tea
Molly, my sister,
And I fell out.
And what do you think,
It was all about?
She loved coffee,
And I loved tea,
And that was the reason,
We couldn’t agree.
Knitting
Knitting still, knitting still,
Always knitting with a will.
Red, green, blue. Red, green, blue.
I’ll knit a little coat for you!
Bedtime Story
“Tell me a story,”
Says Witch’s child,
“About the Beast,
So fierce and wild.
About a Ghost,
That shrieks and groans,
A Skeleton,
That rattles bones.
About a Monster,
Crawly-creepy.
Something nice,
To make me sleepy.”
Poem by Lilian Moore
Tweedle-Dum And Tweedle-Dee
Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee,
Resolved to have a battle,
For Tweedle-Dum said Tweedle-Dee,
Had spoiled his nice new rattle.
Just then flew by a monstrous crow,
As big as a truck of cement,
Which frightened both the heroes so,
They quite forgot their argument.
Squirrel In The Rain
The young squirrel’s mother said, “Come out!
See? It’s raining all about!
Wet silver’s falling from a cloud!
It’s raining hard, it’s raining loud!”
The little squirrel ran down the tree.
“It’s splashing rain all over ME!
It’s raining here, it’s raining there!
It’s raining in the trees’ green hair.
It’s raining in the flowers’ faces.
It’s raining in the grassy places.
It’s raining on my tail and nose,
And on my middle, I suppose!
How wonderful of clouds to fly,
And give young squirrels a drink of sky!”
Poem by Frances Frost

Mary Had A Little Lamb
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day,
That was against the rule.
It made the children laugh and play,
To see a lamb at school.
And so the teacher turned it out,
But still it lingered near,
And waited patiently about,
Till Mary did appear.
“Why does the lamb love Mary so?”
The eager children cry.
“Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know,”
The teacher did reply.
Poem by Sarah Josepha Hale
A-Fishing
Row, row! A-fishing we’ll go!
How many fishes, have you, Joe?
One for my father, one for my mother,
One for my sister, one for my brother,
And one for the little fisher boy!
It’s Raining!
It’s raining! It’s raining!
It’s pouring from the sky!
Let’s crawl inside this barrel,
And that will keep us dry!
Dame Trot And Her Cat
Dame Trot and her cat,
Led a peaceable life,
When they were not troubled
With other folks’ strife.
When Dame had her dinner,
Kitty would wait,
And was sure to receive,
A nice piece from her plate.
The Spring Wind
The summer wind,
Is soft and sweet.
The winter wind is strong.
The autumn wind is mischievous,
And sweeps the leaves along.
The wind I love the best,
Comes gently after rain,
Smelling of spring,
And growing things,
Brushing the world,
With feathery wings,
While everything glistens,
And everything sings,
In the spring wing,
After the rain.
Poem by Charlotte Zolotow
The Little Mouse
I have seen you, little mouse,
Running all about the house.
Through the hole your little eye,
In the woodwork, peeping sly,
Hoping soon some crumbs to steal,
To make quite a hearty meal.
Look before you venture out,
See if Kitty is about.
If she’s gone, you’ll quickly run,
To the pantry for some fun,
Round about the dishes creep,
Taking into each a peep,
To choose the daintiest that’s there,
Spoiling things you do not care.
Snooks And Brooks
As Tommy Snooks and Bessie Brooks,
Were walking out one Sunday,
Said Tommy Brooks to Bessie Brooks,
“Tomorrow will be Monday!”
Rupert
Rupert was watching his cows,
In sunshine and in rain.
Berries and berries he ate,
And berries and berries again.
Always he sat on a hill,
And sang a little song.
And he was just as happy,
As the day is long.
Ten Fingers
I have ten little fingers,
And they all belong to me.
I can make them do things.
Would you like to see?
I can shut them up tight,
Or open them wide.
I can put them together,
Or make them all hide.
I can make them jump high.
I can make them jump low.
I can fold them quietly,
And hold them just so.
My Teddy Bear
A teddy bear is nice to hold.
The one I have is getting old.
His paws are almost wearing out,
And so’s his funny, furry snout,
From rubbing on my nose of skin,
And all his fur is pretty thin.
A ribbon and a piece of string,
Make a sort of necktie thing.
His eyes came out, and now instead,
He has some new ones made of thread.
I take him everywhere I go,
And tell him all the things I know.
I like the way he feels at night,
All snuggled up against me tight.
Poem by Margaret Hillert
Jenny At The Fair
Jenny shall have a new bonnet,
And Jenny shall go to the fair,
And Jenny shall have a blue ribbon,
To tie up her bonny brown hair.
Davy Dumpling
Davy Davy Dumpling,
Boil him in the pot.
Sugar him and butter him,
And eat him while he’s hot.
I See The Moon
I see the moon,
And the moon sees me.
God bless the moon,
And God bless me.
When All The World’s Asleep
Where do insects go at night,
When all the world’s asleep?
Where do bugs and butterflies,
And caterpillars creep?
Turtles sleep inside their shells.
The robin has her nest.
Rabbits and the sly old fox,
Have holes where they can rest.
Bears can crawl inside a cave.
The lion has his den.
Cows can sleep inside the barn,
And pigs can use their pen.
But where do bugs and butterflies,
And caterpillars creep,
When everything is dark outside,
And all the world’s asleep?
Poem by Anita E. Posey
The Squirrel
Whisky, frisky,
Hippity hop,
Up he goes,
To the treetop!
Whirly, twirly,
Round and round,
Down he scampers,
To the ground.
Furly, curly,
What a tail!
Tall as a feather,
Broad as a sail!
Where’s his supper?
In the shell,
Snappity, crackity,
Out it fell!
