Bubbles

Bubbles, bubbles, large and small,
Sailing through the air.
I reach out to catch one
And POP!
It isn't there.

GOOD MORNING

Good Morning to you
Good Morning to you
Good Morning Dear ____
Good Morning to you!

I am Special

Hundreds of birds in the sky,
Hundreds of fish in the sea,
Hundreds of flowers in the field
But there's only one of me!

I Eat

I eat apples-
crunch, crunch, crunch
I eat sandwiches-
munch, munch, munch
I eat lollipops-
lick, lick, lick
But I eat ice cream
quick,quick, quick!

A Kite

I often sit and wish that I
Could be a kite up in the sky,
And ride upon the wind and go
Whichever way I chanced to blow.

Kite Days

A kite, a sky, and a good firm breeze
And acres of ground away from trees.
And one hundred yards of clean, strong string--
O boy, O boy! I call that Spring!

MASHED POTATOES

One potato, two potato,
Three potato, four;
I like mashed potato,
May I please have some more?

My Teddy Bear

My Teddy Bear is a faithful friend
You can pick him up and either end
His fur is the color of breakfast toast
And he's always there
When you need him the most!

My Teddy Bear

My teddybear is soft and brown
His heart is warm and good.
No matter if I laugh or frown
I know I'm understood!

Oodles of Noodles

I love noodles. Give me oodles.
Make a mound up to the sun.
Noodles are my favorite foodles.
I eat noodles by the ton.

Pancakes

Mix a pancake,
Stir a pancake,
Pop it in the pan;
Fry a pancake,
Toss a pancake,
Catch it if you can!

Trees

Trees just stand around all day
and sun themselves and rest.

They never walk or run away
and surely that is best.

For otherwise how would a
squirrel or robin find its nest?

Arbor Day

The seeds we plant today
With sun and rain and rest
Will grow to be the shade
That all the land wears best.

School Morning

School is waiting
Can't be late.
Hurry! Hurry!
Half-past eight.
Out the door
And down the street,
Then softly, quietly,
Take your seat.
