Peppermint Stick

November 28, 2023 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Peppermint Stick

I took a lick
Of a peppermint stick
And, oh, it tasted yummy!

It used to be
On the Christmas tree,
But now it’s in my tummy!

5 Little Cherries

Five Little Cherries

Five little cherries sitting in a tree
Soaking up the sun as happy as can be.
Along came a bird as quick as can be
And snatched that cherry right out of the tree!

Four little cherries sitting in a tree
Soaking up the sun as happy as can be.
Along came a bird as quick as can be
And snatched that cherry right out of the tree!

Three little cherries sitting in a tree
Soaking up the sun as happy as can be.
Along came a bird as quick as can be
And snatched that cherry right out of the tree!

Two little cherries sitting in a tree
Soaking up the sun as happy as can be.
Along came a bird as quick as can be
And snatched that cherry right out of the tree!

One little cherry sitting in a tree
Soaking up the sun as happy as can be.
Along came a bird as quick as can be
And snatched that cherry right out of the tree!

Five Little Strawberries

Five little strawberries growing in the patch
Along comes a bunny and snatch, snatch, snatch!
He ate it all up and looked around
Then he hopped off without a sound.

Four little strawberries growing in the patch
Along comes a bunny and snatch, snatch, snatch!
He ate it all up and looked around
Then he hopped off without a sound.

Three little strawberries growing in the patch
Along comes a bunny and snatch, snatch, snatch!
He ate it all up and looked around
Then he hopped off without a sound.

Two little strawberries growing in the patch
Along comes a bunny and snatch, snatch, snatch!
He ate it all up and looked around
Then he hopped off without a sound.

One little strawberry growing in the patch
Along comes a bunny and snatch, snatch, snatch!
He ate it all up and looked around
Then he hopped off without a sound.

To Market, To Market

To Market, To Market

To market, to market, to buy a fat pig;
Home again, home again, jiggety jig.
To market, to market, to buy a fat hog;
Home again, home again, jiggety jog.

To market, to market, to buy a white caked;
Home again, home again, never was baked.
To market, to market to buy a plum bun;
Home again, home again, market is done!

Peel an apple,

Juicy Apples

(Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”)

Apples juicy, Apples round,
On the trees and on the ground.

Apple juice or pie or bread.
Apples crunchy, Apples sweet,
Apples are so good to eat!

5 Fat Peas

Five Fat Peas

Five fat peas in a pea-pod pressed,
One grew, two grew, so did all the rest.
They grew, and grew, and did not stop,
Until one day, to pod went pop.

Coffee and Tea

April 7, 2016 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Coffee and Tea

Molly, my sister, and I fell out,
And what do you think it was all about?
She loved coffee and I loved tea,
And that was the reason we couldn’t agree.
