I don't know about you guys...but when I was a little girl...
I used to love nursery rhymes and fables, and other short stories....
here are a few of my favorites....



 

  A Baby
I am only a baby
As you can see;
I can laugh – Ha! Ha! Ha!
I can cry – Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
I know so did you,
When you were a baby too.
 
 

Are You Sleeping?

Are you sleeping?
Are you sleeping?
Brother John,
Brother John;

Morning bells are ringing,
Morning bells are ringing;

Ding dong bell,
Ding dong bell.
 
 

Baa, baa, black sheep

Baa, baa, black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, Yes sir,
Three bags full:
One for my master,
And one for his dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.
 
 

Betty bought some batter butter

Betty bought some batter butter,
But she found the butter bitter;
So she bought some better butter,
To make the bitter batter better.
 
 
 

Ding Dong Bell 

Ding dong bell,
Pussy in the well;
Who put her in?
Little Tommy Thin.
Who pulled her out?
Little Tommy Stout.
What a naughty boy was that
To drown poor pussy cat.
 
 

Georgie Porgie

Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie,
Kissed the girls and made them cry;
When the boys came out to play,
Georgie Porgie ran away.
 
 

Here We Go Around the Mulberry Bush

Here we go round the mulberry bush,
The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush,
Here we go round the mulberry bush,
On a cold and frosty morning.

This is the way we wash our hands,
Wash our hands, wash our hands,
This is the way we wash our hands,
On a cold and frosty morning.

This is the way we wash our face,
Wash our face, wash our face,
This is the way we wash our face,
On a cold and frosty morning.

This is the way we comb our hair,
Comb our hair, comb our hair,
This is the way we comb our hair,
On a cold and frosty morning.

This is the way we polish our shoes,
Polish our shoes, polish our shoes,
This is the way we polish our shoes,
On a cold and frosty morning.
 
 

  Hey Diddle Diddle 

Hey diddle diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such fun,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
 

Hickory Dickory Dock

Hickory, dickory, dock!
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down,
Hickory, dickory, dock!
 
 

Hop a little, jump a little

Hop a little, jump a little,
One two, three;
Run a little, skip a little,
Tap one knee;
Bend a little, stretch a little,
Nod your head;
Yawn a little, sleep a little,
In your bed.
 
 

Hot cross buns!

Hot cross buns!
Hot cross buns!
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns!

If you have no daughters,
Give them to your sons,
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns!
 
 

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty
Sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty
Had a great fall.
All the king’s horses
And all the king’s men,
Couldn’t put Humpty
Together again.
 
 

Hush a bye baby

Hush-a-bye baby,
On the tree top;
When the wind blows,
The cradle will rock.

When the bough breaks,
The cradle will fall;
Down will come baby,
Cradle and all.
 
 

Im a little teapot,

I’m a little teapot,
Short and stout.
This is my handle,
And this is my spout.
When the water is boiling,
Hear me shout,
Pick me up, and pour me out.
 
 

Incy Wincy spider

Incy Wincy spider
Climbed up the water spout;
  Down came the rain
And washed the spider out.

Out came the sunshine
And dried up all the rain;
Incy Wincy spider
Climber up the spout again.
