Mary had a little limb...and other silly things.

Some of my nonsense rhyme for kids. I pulled together an illustrated collection of these several years ago whilst I was working as a teaching assistant in a primary school. I published it on lulu.com under the same name as this collection (to a rousing zero purchases). Not really shared them other than that so I thought I'd post them here. I'll add them up as I get the time...

Cherry

The Goglins

The goggle-eyed, tongue-tied, shallow-fried Goglins...

A bedtime prayer

Bing! Bang! Bong! went the weasel with the gong, As he called all the animals to tea...

Bad habits

For slobs of all ages.

An exaggeration on childlike one-upmanship...

Contrary Mary

Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How does your garden grow?

Mary had a little limb

Mary had a little limb...

Owl and pussy

The owl and the pussy cat went to sea, In a beautiful pea-green boat...

Playtime Twaddle

This one sits best along side its illustrations (think poor man's Spike Milligan) but I thought I'd post it anyway.

Snot, sweat and cheese

The Music Shop

For the musically frustrated kid...

Santa's Rap

A festive rap I tried out on the year 5s I used to support. They were less than impressed as I remember. Maybe my street lingo ain't bare safe no more, ya get me? Merry Christmas, everyone.
