Rhymes For Children

Lisa: “For the summer, we have two more humorous rhymes for you to learn with your children. Both will appeal to youngsters’ sense of the comically absurd. Both poems go well with visual aids, like a brown paper bag and ticking small children. I am a bit worried about that spider which looks anything but 'incy-wincy' to me!”

Birds, Bears & Buns - Beware! By Christopher Isherwood	Incy Wincy Spider
The common cormorant or shag Lays eggs inside a paper bag; The reason you will see no doubt It is to keep the lightning out. But what these unobservant birds Have never noticed is that herds Of wandering bears may come with buns And steal the bags to hold the crumbs.	Incy Wincy spider Climbing up the spout; Down came the rain And washed the spider out. O ut came the sunshine Dried up all the rain; Incy Wincy spider Climbed the spout again.
