PETER PATTER
told them to me,

All the little rimes,

Whispered them among the bushes

Half a hundred times.

Peter lives upon a mountain

Pretty near the sun,

Knows the bears and birds and rabbits

Nearly every one;

Has a home among the alders,

Bed of cedar bark,

Walks alone beneath the pine trees

Even when it’s dark.

Squirrels tell him everything

That happens in the trees,

Cricket in the gander-grass

Sings of all he sees;

Rimes from bats and butterflies,

Crabs and waterfowl;

But the best of all he gets

From his Uncle Owl.

Sometimes when its day-time,

But mostly in the night,

They sit beneath an oak tree

And hug each other tight,

And tell their rimes and riddles

Where the catty creatures prowl—

Funny little Peter Patter

And his Uncle Owl.

A COPPER DOWN A CRACK

Jingle, jingle, Jack,
A copper down a crack.
Twenty men and all their wives,
With sticks and picks and pocket knives,
Digging for their very lives
To get the copper back.

I’M MUCH TOO BIG FOR A FAIRY

I’m much too big for a fairy,
And much too small for a man,
But this is true:
Whatever I do,
I do it the best I can.

DID YOU EVER PLAY TAG WITH A TIGER?
