rhymes of the day!

"HEY DIDDLE-DIDDLE"

hey diddle diddle
the cat and the fiddle
the cow jump over the moon
the little dog laugh to see such fun
and the dish runaway with the spoon

"A LITTLE COCK SPARROW"

a little cock sparrow
sat on the tree
looking as happy
as happy could be
till a boy came down
with his bow and arrow
said he "i will shoot the little cock sparrow
his body will make me
a nice little stew
and his giblet will make me
a little pie too."
says the little cock sparrow
"i will be shot if i stay."
so he clapped his wing
and then flew away.

"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
It's like a garden full of snow
And when the snow begins to fall
It's like a bird upon the wall
And when the bird away does fly
It's like an eagle in the sky
And when the sky begins to roar
It's like a lion at the door
And when the door begins to crack
It's like a stick across your back
And when your back begins to smart
It's like a penknife in your heart
And when your heart begins to bleed
You're dead, and dead, and dead indeed.

" A SWARM OF BEES IN MAY"

A swarm of bees in May
Is worth a load of hay
A swarm of bees in June
Is worth a silver spoon
A swarm of bees in July
Is not worth a fly.

"BABY DEAR, GOOD NIGHT,GOOD NIGHT"
Baby dear, good night, good night,
Doggie lies in slumbers deep
Hush-a-bye, my treasure bright,
Pussy, too, is fast asleep.
Don't you wake them! If you do,
Pups will bark, and Puss will mew.
Go to sleep, and never fear,
Mother will call when morning's near.

"BLOW WIND, BLOW"
Blow wind, blow
And go, mill, go
That the miller
May grind his corn
That the baker may take it,
And into rolls make it
And bring us some
Hot in the morn.

"CACKLE,CACKLE,MOTHER GOOSE"
Cackle, cackle, Mother Goose
Have you any feathers loose?
Truly have I, pretty fellow
Half enough to fill a pillow
Here are quills, take one or two,
And down to make a bed for you.

"COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO!"
Cock a doodle doo
My dame has lost her shoe
My master's lost his fiddle stick
And knows not what to do.

Cock a doodle doo,
What is my dame to do?
Till master finds his fiddling stick
She'll dance without her shoe.

Cock a doddle doo,
My dame has found her shoe,
And master's found his fiddling stick
She'll now dance with her shoe.

Cock a doodle doo,
My dame will dance with you,
While master fiddles his fiddling stick,
For dame and doodle doo.

"CROAK!" SAY THE TOAD

"Croak!" said the toad,
"I'm hungry, I think
Today I've had nothing
To eat or to drink.

I'll crawl to a garden
And jump through the *pales,
And there I'll dine nicely
On slugs and on snails."

"Ho, ho!" quoth the frog,
"Is that what you mean?
Then I'll hop away to
The next meadow stream

There I will drink, and
Eat worms and slugs too,
And then I shall have a
Good dinner like you."

"DIDDLEDY,DIDDLEDY,DUMPTY"

Diddledy, diddledy, dumpty
The cat ran up the plum-tree.
I'll lay you a crown
I'll fetch you down
So diddledy, diddledy, dumpty.
