Little miss Muffett
Sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
When down came a spider
And sat down beside her
And frightened miss Muffett away

His wife could eat no lean
And so, between them both you see
They licked the platter clean

8. A Book Is adapted from a poem by Kathy Leeuwenburg A book is an open flower scented pages, fragrant hours a lock and key that opens doors and sets minds free an ancient clock that speaks the times but never talks an open letter when read again the friendship's better an apple core with seeds inside for growing more a trusted friend that keeps its secret to the end

The Train
I like to see it lap the miles, And lick the valleys up, And stop to feed itself at tanks; And then, prodigious, step

13. The Cat & The Fiddle
Hey diddle, Diddle, The cat and the fiddle, The cow jumped over the moon; The little dog laughed To see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon

14. ONOMATOPOEIA: when words sound like the sound they are describing
water plops into a pond
splish-splash downhill
warbling magpies in tree
trilling, melodic thrill
whoosh, passing breeze
flags flutter and flap
frog croaks, bird whistles
babbling bubbles from tap
