Nursery Rhymed


Remember the little lamb Mary had
And the beanstalk Jack agilely climbed
Most of us are sheepishly glad
They were all nursery rhymed

How about that mouse who ran up the clock
Why he did that nobody knows
Perhaps he was looking for Goldilocks
Or the ring around the rose

The lost sheep of Little Bo Peep
We wonder if they ever were found
These childhood memories are ingrained so deep
To them we are lovingly bound

History shows us, they'll not be out-dated
These nursery rhymes, so lovingly clever
Kids in the future will surely be slated
To have these rhymes read to them forever and ever

Thanks for the memories, I find nursery rhymes familiar which seems to make them comforting.

All children are natural poets. It's only when we grow up that we lose our delight in language--unless we work on it.
