III. ENGLISH RHYMES

THE ELEPHANT

When people call this beast to mind,

They wonder more and more

At such a little tail behind,

So large a trunk before.

OUR PIGS.

Our pigs don’t try

To keep spick-span!

They get as dirty

As they can,

And squeal and grunt

At everything,

Which makes them very  

Interesting !

ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE.

One, two, three, four, five,

Once I caught a fish alive.

Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

Then I let it go again.

Why did you let it go?

Because it bit my finger so.

Which finger did it bite?

The little finger on the right.

THE CAT SAT ON THE MAT

Did you ever known a cat

That sat on a mat?

The cats I have seen

Don’t sit and preen.

They frisk and they tease,

They scramble up trees,

They tickle my knees,

They tangle in string,

They pounce and they spring,

They howl, yowl, and quiver,

And gobble up liver.

THE GUPPY

Whales have calves,

Cats have kittens,

Bears have cubs,

Bats have bittens,

Swans have cygnets,

Seals have puppies,

 But guppies just have little guppies.

SECRETS

There is a dragon-fly which sings

Close by my ear;

He tries to tell me secret things

Which I can’t hear.

IV. POEMS

By Margie Callender-Rule

THE OWL

Perhaps you like the owl?

Not I!

He sleeps by the day

And fly by nights,

And scares the little birds

In flight;

His big round eyes see far away

And yet he cannot see by day;

They say

He’s wise as wise can be!

But really

That I cannot see;

A bird that sings

The whole day long

Makes one happy with his song;

But the owl’s tu-whit, tu-whoo

Sounds really queer,

I think, don’t you?

YOUNG ADVENTURER

I want to have a big black horse

And ride him far and free.

I want to gallop round the earth

Far as fast can be;

I want to feel the boisterous wind

Go swinging through my hair

I want to gallop. Gallop on…

Oh! It’s more than I can bear

Just to sit at home and dream

When adventures would be fine,

But never mind! When I’m grown-up

That horse will be mine.

THE BUTERFLY AND THE BEE

Butterfly, butterfly, where are you going,

Over the gardens where roses are growing,

Looking for blossoms as if to see

How to make sweets like the honey-bee?

Butterfly, butterfly, flitting and flying

Over the fields where the lambkins are lying.

What are you doing, working for me?

Can you make sweets like the busy bee?

Peter, my little boy, what are you saying?

Who ever heard of a busy bee playing?

You must be wiser, my darling, and try

To be more of a bee than a butterfly.
