POEMS AND RHYMES

[i:]

Sleep, sleep, beauty bright

Dreaming over the toys of night.

Sleep, sleep: in the sleep

Little sorrows sit and weep.

[a:]

Friends a hundred miles apart

Sit and chatter heart to heart,

Boys and girls from school afar

Speak to mother, ask papa.

[о]

And there are many other balls

We find at pleasure’s source –

The croquet ball, the hockey ball.

The skittle ball, lacrosse,

And smaller ball, the marble balls,

And bearing balls, of course.

[о–u:]

I have two legs

With which I walk:

I have a tongue

With which I talk,

And with it too,

I eat my food

and tell

If it’s bad or good.

[ ə:]

The early bird so I have heard,

Catches the worm, and ‘pon my word,

I know two chaps and yet a third

Could learn a lesson from that bird.

[i:]

Stop! Look! Listen!

Before you cross the street.

Use your eyes, use your ears,

And then use your feet!

Queen Mab’s Chariot

[i]

Fib, and Tib, and Pink, and Pin,

Pick, and Quick, and Jill, and Jin,

Tit, and Nit, and Wap, and Wim –

The train that wait upon her.

[æ]

Ann, Ann?

Come quick as you can!

There’s a fish that talks

In the frying-pan.

Out of the fat,

As clear as glass,

He put up his mouth

and moaned “Alas”

Oh, most mournful,

“Alas, alack!”

Then turned to the sizzling,

And sank him back.

Wash, hands, wash,

Daddy’s gone to plough.

Splash, hands, splash,

They’re all washed now.

Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat,

Will you catch that big fat rat?

It is sitting by the ham

Just behind the apple jam.

Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat,

That fat rat is very bad.

If you catch it, I’ll be glad.

I’ll give you some milk for that.

[ t∫]

Sing a song of washing up,

Water hot as hot.

Cups and saucers, plates and spoons,

Dishes such a lot!

Work the dish mop round and round,

Wash them clean as clean

Polish with a dry white cloth,

How busy we have been!

[u]

I looked at the shadowed mosses,

I looked at the nests overhead,

I looked at the small brook dreaming

Alone in its sandy bed.

[Λ]

Grumbling, stumbling,

Fumbling all the day,

Fluttering, stuttering,

Muttering away,

Rustling, hustling,

Bustling as it flows,

That it how the brook talks,

Bubbling as it goes.

[ei]

Rain, rain, rain, April rain,

You are feeding seed and grain,

You are raising plants and crops

With your gaily sparkling drops.

[ai]

Oh, weep for Mr. and Mrs. Bryan!

He was eaten by a lion,

Following which, the lion’s lioness

Up and swallowed Bryan’s Bryaness.

[av]

Autumn leaves tumble down,

Autumn leaves crumble down,

Autumn leaves bumble down,

Flaking and shaking,

Tumbledown leaves.

[iə]

Autumn crowns the glowing sphere,

Winter’s grasp is full of cheer,

You between them, sad and dear,

Bind your brows with leafage sere,

Saying, “I remember

When the year was not a bier” –

Ah, woe, November!

[t], [d], [k]

I have a cat

His name is Pit;

And by the fire

He likes to sit

Each day I bring him

A dish of milk,

And smooth his coat

That shines like silk.

And on my knee

He likes to sit

For Pit loves me

And I love Pit.

Come to dinner,

come to dinner,

Ding – dong – dell,

Ding – dong – dell,

Soup, meat and potatoes,

Soup, meat and potatoes,

Ding – dong – dell.

Ding – dong – dell.

[ t∫]

Children, aunts are not glamorous creatures,

As very often their features

Tend to be elderly caricatures of your own.

[d3]

Algy met a bear,

The bear was bulgy,

The bulge was Algy.

[ θ ]

A thousand faiths with a common dream

A thousand tongues with a common theme

A thousand thoughts with a single plan:

Peace on earth and goodwill to man!

[ δ ]

Here’s health to all those that we love,

Here’s health to all those that love us,

Here’s health to all those that love them

That love those that love us!

[w]

White sheep, white sheep

On a blue hill.

When the wind stops

You all stand still.

You walk far away

When the winds blow

White sheep, white sheep.
