Hocus-pocus 
My computer 
Knows the way 
There's a world 
Of rhyme and wonder 
And it's just 
A click away!

One misty, moisty morning
One misty, moisty morning, 
When cloudy was the weather,
I chanced to meet an old man 
Clothed all in leather. 
He began to compliment, 
And I began to grin, 
How do you do? 
And how do you do? 
And how do you do, again? 

Wash the Dishes
Wash the dishes,
Wipe the dishes,
Ring the bell for tea. 
Three good wishes,
Three good kisses,
I will give to thee. 

Pussycat, pussycat
Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been?
I've been to London, to visit the Queen.
Pussycat, pussycat, what did you there?
I frightened a little mouse under the chair

When that I was but a little tiny boy
When that I was but a little tiny boy, 
With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain, 
A foolish thing was but a toy, 
And the rain it raineth every day. 
With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain, 
A foolish thing was but a toy. 
Boys and girls come out to play 
Boys and girls come out to play, 
The moon doth shine as bright as day. 
Leave your supper and leave your sleep, 
And join your playfellows in the street. 
Come with a whoop and come with a call, 
Come with a good will or not at all. 
Up the ladder and down the wall, 
A ha'penny loaf will serve us all; 
You find milk, and I'll find flour, 
And we'll have a pudding in half an hour. 

White bird featherless
White bird featherless 
Flew from Paradise, 
Perched on the castle wall; 
Along came Lord Landless 
And took it up handless, 
And rode away horseless to the King¼s white hall. 

Hark, hark
Hark, hark,
The dogs do bark,
The beggars are coming to town;
Some in rags,
And some in tags,
And some in velvet gowns. 

Sally go round the sun
Sally go round the sun,
Sally go round the moon,
Sally go round the chimney pots
On a Saturday afternoon. 

Cuckoo, cuckoo, tell me true
Cuckoo, cuckoo, tell me true,
When shall I be married? 

Three grey geese
Three grey geese
In a green field grazing,
Grey were the geese
And green was the grazing. 

Gray goose and gray gander
Gray goose and gray gander,
Waft your wings together,
And carry the good king's daughter
Over the one-strand river. 

A man of words and not of deeds
A man of words and not of deeds
Is like a garden full of weeds;
And when the weeds begin to grow,
It¼s like a garden full of snow;
And when the snow begins to fall,
It¼s like a bird upon the wall;
And when the bird away does fly,
It¼s like an eagle in the sky;
And when the sky begins to roar,
It¼s like a lion at the door;
And when the door begins to crack
It¼s like a stick upon your back;
And when your back begins to smart,
It¼s like a penknife in your heart;
And when your heart begins to bleed--
You¼re dead, and dead, and dead indeed. 

Solomon Grundy
Solomon Grundy,
Born on Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill on Thursday,
Worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday:
This is the end
Of Solomon Grundy. 

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
Which was against the rules;
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school.

Star Light, Star Bright

Star light, star bright,
first star I see tonight,
I'm going to try with all my might,
to keep my jammies dry all night.

The Skateboard 

My Daddy has bought me a skateboard;
he tried it out first at the store.
And that is the reason why Mommy
says Daddy can't walk any more.

Toes in My Nose

I bet that I could do it.
My friends all said, "No way."
And now my toes are in my nose,
so they will have to pay.

They each owe me a dollar--
of that there is no doubt.
There's just one little problem.
I cannot get them out.

Animal Rhymes

Hen, hen, count to ten;
Goat, goat, get your coat;
Pig, pig, dance a jig.

Mouse, mouse, build a house;
Chick, chick, make it quick;
Cat, cat, find your hat.

Bear, bear, go upstairs,
Mite, mite, say good night;
Sheep, sheep, go to sleep.

Hand-Me-Downs

I'm always wearing hand-me-downs.
I don't get stuff that's new.
My mom won't take me shopping.
I don't know what to do.
The dresses always fit me fine,
but high heels give me blisters.
It's not easy growing up,
a boy with older sisters.

Birthday Wishes

I wish for peace.
I wish for knowledge.
I wish my (brother/sister)
would leave for college.

We are all in the dumps
We are all in the dumps
For diamonds are trumps;
The kittens have gone to St. Paul's! 
The babies are bit,
The moon's in a fit,
And the houses are built without walls. 

See, saw, Marjorie Daw 
See, saw, Marjorie Daw,
Jack shall have a new master.
He shall earn but a penny a day,
Because he can't work any faster. 

See, saw, Marjorie Daw
See, saw, Marjorie Daw,
Sold her Bed and lay on the Straw,
Was not she a dirty Slut,
To sell her Bed and Lie in the Dirt? 

Elsie Marley's grown so fine
Elsie Marley's grown so fine,
She won't get up to feed the swine,
But lies in bed 'till eight or nine!
Lazy Elsie Marley. 

It's once I courted a pretty lass
It's once I courted a pretty lass,
As ever you did see;
But now it's come to such a pass
That she never will do for me.
She had me over to her house
Where oft I'd been before;
She tumbled me into the hog-tub
And I'll never go there any more. 

Lady-bird, lady-bird, fly from my hand
Lady-bird, lady-bird, fly from my hand,
Tell me where my true love stands,
Up-hill or down-hill or by the sea sand,
Lady-bird, lady-bird, fly from my hand.
Fly, lady-bird, fly!
North, south, east or west;
Fly to the pretty girl
That I love best. 

As I was going to St. Ives
As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives.
Every wife had seven sacks,
Every sack had seven cats,
Every cat had seven kits.
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were going to St. Ives?

A was an Archer, and shot at a frog,
B was a Blindman, and led by a dog.
C was a Cutpurse, and lived in disgrace,
D was a Drunkard, and had a red face.

H was a Hunter, and hunted a mouse.
I was an Ill man, and hated by all,
K was a Knave, and he robbed great and small.

M was a Madman, and beat out his eyes.

Mother Goose
Mother goose was a thoughtless goose. 
She took her five kids to a pond 
She didn’t remember that one couldn’t swim 
When she came back home there were four. 
Mother goose was a careless goose 
She put her kids up on a tree 
But one of them slipped and fell to the ground 
When she came back home there were three. 
Mother goose was a dreamy goose 
And once when cooking a stew 
She took her own kid for the sight of a beet
When she finished her meal there were two. 
Mother goose was a foolish goose 
She let her two kids out to run 
Right in the middle of a big, busy street 
So soon she was left with just one. 
She loved him and hugged him and said she was sorry 
Not knowing she spoke to a shoe 
Her son only sighed: now I know what they mean 
When they say: “what a silly ol’ goose! 

If Only The Princess
If only the princess 
Did not have a crown 
Or lived in a castle 
Or went to a ball 
If only her dresses 
Did not touch the ground 
If only her sandals 
Were not made of gold 
If only her chambers 
Were not quite so huge 
If only her windows 
Were not quite so wide 
And also, if only 
There weren't a prince 
To whom from those windows 
She sings every night 
If only, if only 
She weren’t so grand 
Then surely she would be 
As simple as I! 
And while we are at it 
If she had a bike 
We’d go to a forest 
For a jolly good ride! 

When Frankenstein Came to My Birthday

He came to my birthday
and banged down the door.
He knocked over plates
and dropped cake on the floor.

He shouted so loud
that we plugged up our ears.
He stomped on our sneakers,
which brought us to tears.

He drank all the punch,
for he had a great thirst.
He squeezed me so tight
that I thought I would burst!

He sat on the couch
and it broke into bits.
My mother and father
were both having fits.

"We all make mistakes," Momma said,
"now and then.
But don't invite Frankenstein,
ever again!!!"

My Prayer

I pray my father finds his keys.
I pray my sister doesn't tease.
I pray that baby has no rash.
But most of all, I pray for cash.

Yankee Doodle went to town,
riding on a rooster.
His saddle wasn't high enough,
so now he's got a booster.

Big Mary

Mary had a little lamb,
a little toast,
a little jam,
a little pizza
and some cake,
some French fries
and a chocolate shake,
a little burger
on a bun.
And that's why Mary
weighs a ton.
