The Man in the Wilderness

The man in the wilderness asked me
How many strawberries grew in the sea.
I answered him as I thought good,
As many herrings as grew in the wood.

Sing a Song of Sixpence

Sing a song of sixpence
A pocket full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie!

When the pie was opened
The birds began to sing
Wasn’t that a dainty dish
To set before the king?

Pease Porridge

Pease porridge hot,
Pease porridge cold,
Pease porridge in the pot
Nine days old.

Some like it hot,
Some like it cold,
Some like it in the post
Nine days old.

This can be a clapping game, as well.

The Pumpkin Eater

Peter, Peter, pumpkin-eater
Had a wife and couldn’t keep her
Put her in a pumpkin shell
And there he kept her very well.
