The Bonny Three
Why do you cry, you bonny three?
What made you so sad?
What can it be?
This is no time to cry or fuss.
Mom and Dad will soon be home with us. All will be well as you will see.
White Whale
I seek a white whale.
Have you seen him pass by?
We have not, Miss.
White whales tend to be shy.
Look by the wharf or the dock on the side.
White whales are quite large and too big to hide.
Mary’s Lamb
My name is Mary.
Look at my wee white lambs.
The lambs are sweet, not big grumps like the rams.
This wee little lamb likes to be by my side.
When I go in the car he comes for a ride.
Whale Tale
I went to seek the white whale.
My whole plan fell a-part.
It is quite an old tale.
My skiff hit a rock and left me in shock.
Help will soon come from shore.
I will go home and seek the whale no more.

Dee, Dot and Dog
Dee, Dot, and dog went off on a lark.
Dot took Dee for a stroll in the park.
O-ver the hill,
Un-der a dark sky, Dee, Dot and dog went off on a lark.
Little Lads
Little lads roll little hoops back and forth in little loops.
See the lads roll the hoops.
See the lads go back and forth.
O-ver the street, o-ver the yard, little lads roll little hoops back and forth in little loops.
Jill and Her Dolly Dill
Jill is fond of her Dolly Dill.
She has let-ter blocks.
She has a horse and a ball.
She has books she likes and a clock and a bike.
But those do not give her a thrill. For Jill is most fond of her Dolly Dill.
Apples
“Apples red and apples green, the best apples we have seen!”
We run to pick apples.
We run to pick apples in the fall.
My sis-ter picks apples with me.
My sis-ter is not that tall.
We love to pick apples in the fall.

Fa-ther Gan-der
Fa-ther Gan-der wants to take a stroll this mor n to the lake.
He asks Mo-ther Goose “Do you want to come with me too?”
The geese fell in the mud and got dirty. We can give them a bath and be home by ten-thirty.
Sir Rook
Sir Rook is a Brit you see.
Quite a stuck up bird is he.
He comes from a large clan of old.
It makes him seem snotty and cold.
Mrs. Hen has in mind to tell him he must try to be kind.
It mat-ters not if a bird is pretty.
If his man-ner is cold, what a pity.
Bob-o-link
Bob-o-link is full of mirth. A happy bird he was from birth.
Bob-o-link sits with the clo-ver.
He tells his name o-ver and o-ver.

We hope Bob-o-link will come back soon.

All A-Float
Here we are all a-float
In our wee jolly boat.
Up and down the waves I go with my first mate in tow.
Up and down the waves we ride. We cast our nets far and wide. We are happy as can be my best hound dog and me.
Down the Road
Grab your coat.
Grab your coat and hat.
We shall go for a drive.
We went down the road in our car.
But we did not get that far.
We hit a bump. It made me jump.
And now the tire is flat, oh drat.
What a Load of Fun
Up on the foam,
Up on the sur f,
I see Jack and Joan.
Jack and Joan are out a-lone.
Out in the west coast sun.
The boat speeds by so fast it seems to fly.
Oh what a load of fun.
