Five Brave Knights (Teasing Mr. Dragon)

5 Brave Knights (Teasing Mr. Dragon)

Five brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

Four brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

Three brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

Two brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

One brave knight
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

Here Is the Engine

December 14, 2021 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Here is the engine on the track (hold up thumb)
Here is the coal car, just in back (hold up pointer finger)
Here is the boxcar, to carry freight (hold up middle finger)
Here is the mail car, don’t be late! (hold up ring finger)
Way back here at the end of the train (hold up little finger)
Rides the caboose through the sun and the rain.

5 Little Witches

October 21, 2021 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Five Little Witches

Five little witches standing by the door. (hold up five fingers)
One flew out and then there were four. (Flying motion with hand)
Four little witches standing by a tree. (four fingers)
One went to pick a pumpkin and then there were three. (picking motion with three fingers)
Three little witches stirring their brew. (stir)
One fell in and then there were two. (two fingers)
Two little witches went for a run. (run with fingers)
One got lost and then there was one. (one finger)
One little witch, yes, only one. (one finger)
She cast a spell and now there are none. (make motions as if to cast spell and then put hands in lap).

5 Little Witches was originally found on Imperfect Women’s blog.

Five Little Monkeys (Teasing Mr Alligator)

5 little monkeys sitting in a tree,
Teasing Mr Alligator “You can’t catch me!
No you can’t catch me!”
Along came Mr Alligator, quiet as can be,
And snatched that monkey right out of the tree.

4 little monkeys sitting in a tree,
Teasing Mr Alligator “You can’t catch me!
No you can’t catch me!”
Along came Mr Alligator, quiet as can be,
And snatched that monkey right out of the tree.

3 little monkeys sitting in a tree,
Teasing Mr Alligator “You can’t catch me!
No you can’t catch me!”
Along came Mr Alligator, quiet as can be,
And snatched that monkey right out of the tree.

2 little monkeys sitting in a tree,
Teasing Mr Alligator “You can’t catch me!
No you can’t catch me!”
Along came Mr Alligator, quiet as can be,
And snatched that monkey right out of the tree.

1 little monkey sitting in a tree,
Teasing Mr Alligator “You can’t catch me!
No you can’t catch me!”
Along came Mr Alligator, quiet as can be,
And snatched that monkey right out of the tree.

Snowflakes

May 27, 2021 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Snowflakes

Merry little snowflakes
Falling through the air,
Resting on the steeple
And tall trees everywhere,
Topping roofs and fences,
Capping every post,
Covering the hillside
Where we like to coast.
But when the bright spring sunshine
Says it’s come to stay,
Those merry little snowflakes
Quickly run away.

5 Little Goblins

May 27, 2021 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Five Little Goblins

Five little goblins on a Halloween night
Made a very, very spooky sight.
The first one danced on her tippy-tip-toes.
The second one tumbled and bumped his nose.
The third one jumped high up in the air.
The fourth one walked like a fuzzy bear.
The fifth one sang a Halloween song.
Five little goblins played the whole night long!

Sleepy Fingers

Sleepy Fingers

My fingers are so sleepy,
It’s time they went to bed.
First you, Baby Finger,
Tuck in your little head.
Ring Man, now it’s your turn.
Then comes Tall Man Great.
Pointer Finger, hurry
Because it’s getting late!
Let’s see if they’re all cozy.
No, there’s one more to come.
Move over, Little Pointer,
Make room for Master Thumb!

Grammy’s Glasses

Grammy’s Glasses

These are Grammy’s glasses.
This is Grammy’s hat.
This is the way she folds her hands
And lays them in her lap.

The Church

The Church

This is the church.
Here is the steeple.
Open the doors
And see all the people.

Now close the doors.
It’s time to pray.
Now look inside.
They’ve all gone away!

5 Little Kitty Cats

March 3, 2020 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

5 Little Kitty Cats

Five little kitty cats sleeping on the floor
One pounced away, and now there are four!

Four little kitty cats, cute as can be,
One leapt away, and now there are three!

Three little kitty cats, hunters through and through,
One caught a mouse, and now there are two!

Two little kitty cats, basking in the sun,
One slinked away, and now there’s only one!

One little kitty cat got up to stretch and yawn,
I looked away…and now he’s gone!
