(1)
Dona Carmen(4) (pronounced doan-ya)

One day Dona Carmen
Cooked a cow's tongue
Her husband came from work
And said, "Hope it wasn't young."

(2)
Dona Carmen(5)

Dona Carmen took to mending
Sock after sock
When her hubby came from work
Each sock caused him a shock!

(3)
Dona Carmen(6)

One day Dona Carmen
Visited two lakes
The fish she caught bit the hook
This gave the dame the shakes.

(4)
Dona Carmen(7)

Dona Carmen and a friend
Whose first name was Maria
Coochee-cooed the friend's
New babe
Whose name(What else?) was Mia.

(5)
Dona Carmen(8)

Dona Carmen and a friend
Whose first name was Maria
Laughed and chatted over tea
Until the friend said, "See ya."

(6)
Dona Carmen(9)

Dona Carmen stubbed a toe
Tears welled in her eyes
Despite the pain she hobbled round
To finish her Spanish pies.

(7)
Dona Carmen(10)

One night Dona Carmen's spouse
Swore he loved those Spanish eyes
The dame said, "Basta, tell the truth--
I think you really love my pies!"

(8)
Dona Carmen(11)

Dona Carmen bought a new dress
Her daughter was soon to marry
Her husband bought 50 golf balls
Said they were all he could carry.

(9)
Dona Carmen(12)

Dona Carmen's beloved husband
Was not a Spanish man
He was more your average Joe:
A New York chap named Dan.

(10)
Dona Carmen(13)

Dona Carmen flew to Madrid
Then she was off to Toledo
There a luncheon awaited her
Complete with 'tomahto' and tomato.

(11)
Dona Carmen(14)

One day Dona Carmen cooked
A steamy pot of bones
She then invited all the neighbors
You should have heard the groans!

(12)
Cheena

Cheena was a spring chicken
Who changed her beaux often
When the summer season came
Cheena said, "Look, I'm a hen!"

(13)
Photos

This is your Aunt Eleanor
That is your Aunt Claire
Both in their younger days
Breathed a cleaner air.

(14)
Dona Carmen(15)

Restless Dona Carmen
Flipped the TV channels
Then she said, "Too much English;
Right now I need mi Spanish."

(15)
Oh Milly Said Molly(24)

"Oh Milly," said Molly
"How is your coffee?"
"Oh Molly," said Milly
"It seems a bit too sweet."
"Oh Milly," asked Molly
"Should I add more water?"
"Why Molly," answered Milly
"Don't take me for an otter!"

(16)
Oh, Mr. Moon(11)

Oh, Mr. Moon
I think I'm doomed--
I didn't finish my homework.
My child have a chat
With your teacher
She'll favor the kids
Who reach her.

(17)
Miss Elaine Elephant(1)

Miss Elaine Elephant
Was nobody's runt
All that gray skin
From tail tip to chin!

(18)
Miss Elaine Elephant(2)

Miss Elaine Elephant
Said to little Mickey
"Don't you have a brother
Named Ricky-roo or Dicky?"

(19)
Miss Elaine Elephant(3)

Miss Elaine Elephant
Sat down in the tub
All the water then splashed out
I think there's the rub.

(20)
Oh Milly Said Molly(25)

"Oh Milly," said Molly
"Just look at that sunset!"
"Oh Molly," said Milly
"Let me get my specs."
"Oh Milly," said Molly
"You need a daily carrot!"
"But Molly," asked Milly
"How should I prepare it?"

(21)
Miss Elaine Elephant(4)

The inn told Miss Elaine
Who wanted to pay a room--
"A room for you would be a feat
What you need's a suite!"

(22)
Miss Elaine Elephant(5)

Sad Elaine Elephant
Was put on a diet
A lunch of three peanuts
Made her want to riot.

(23)
Miss Elaine Elephant(6)

Miss Elaine Elephant
Got dressed for a tea
Then that very afternoon
She forgot the word for spoon!

(24)
Miss Elaine Elephant(7)

Miss Elaine Elephant
Eased down on the toilet
Her zoo mates bid a quick good-bye
Anyone knows why!

(25)
Little Wanda Worrywart

Little Wanda Worrywart
Worried about her messy room
Then she fretted over the garden--
Not a single rose would bloom!

(26)
Fiona Fish(2)

Fiona Fish
Wanted a house
With just one little door
She saved her nickels
Then went to the bank
Each coin, on deposit,
Went clank.

(27)
Fiona Fish(3)

Fiona Fish
Made a dessert
Of chocolate, nuts and popcorn
First she ate
Then observed--
"How, without chocolate,
I'd mourn!"

(28)
Silly Sally(3)

Silly Sally's making a cake
She knows a lot about baking
Michel rubs his toddler's eyes
The clang has got him waking.

(29)
Jack and Jill(14)

Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
Each wanted to be its king
Jack fell over
Into some clover
Jill said, "Hark! I'm Madam Ming!"

(30)
Jack and Jill(15)

Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
Each wanted to be top dog
Jack then fell
Jill followed suit
"I'm just," sighed Jack,
"Another cog."

(31)
Old Jack and Jill(16)

Old Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
To try to reach the top
Old Jack was wet
From all the sweat
"This climbing," croaked Jill,
"Must stop!"

(32)
Jack and Jill(17)

Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
To fetch Jill a plum
Jack fell down
And broke his crown--
Jill's little face was glum.

(33)
Jack and Jill(18)

Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
To check on little sis
When Jack fell down
And broke his crown
Jill stooped and swiped
A kiss!

(34)
Jack and Jill(19)

Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
To see what lay in store
Jack fell down
And broke his crown--
Jill cried, "Yuck, such gore!"

(35)
Jack and Jill(20)

Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
To choose Halloween pumpkins
Jack fell down
Like a circus clown--
Jill said, "Country bumpkins."

(36)
Jack and Jill(21)

Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
Jill thought she would shop
As was expected
Jack fell down--
Jill laughed, "What a plop!"

(37)
Jack and Jill(22)

Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
To look for Jill's jump rope
Jack fell down
Then sighed to Jill
"Makes a tot lose hope."

(38)
Jack and Jill(23)

Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
Jill said, "Thee I love"
When Jack fell down
And broke his crown--
Jill sighed, "Well, sort of."

(39)
Abi Ant(1)

Abi Ant's mom taught her
"Never think you can't"
Six months later, Abi eloped--
Her mom began to rant!

(40)
Abi Ant(2)

Abi Ant created a chant
"Hee hee hoko hoko poko!"
Said Abi's mom with hands askew--
"I'd go to work if I were you!"

(41)
Abi Ant(3)

Abi Ant's grandma died
Abi then started on the grave
Some of her ant friends
Began to arrive--
A hand was what they gave.

(42)
Abi Ant(4)

Abi Ant met Winky Worm
He thought she was a germ
As he hurried on the opposite way
Abi spied the bluejay.

(43)
Frosty(5)

Frosty looked at his owner's red door
He wished he could go inside
He'd laugh, chant, eat a petit-four
But a snowman's life's outside.

(44)
Frosty(6)

Frosty spied some crows at play
They seemed to him so free
They could fly and land at will
While he was stuck on a hill!

(45)
Frosty(7)

Frosty with his carrot nose
Smelled fried chicken cooking
Lamenting that he had no teeth,
The guy began to doze.

(46)
Frosty(8)

Frosty had no real family
Much less a family tree
So every spring come time to melt
He wondered why he felt.

(47)
Frosty(9)

A sparrow perched on Frosty's nose
It then began to sag
Frosty wished the bird would fly
But how to say "Good-bye?"

(48)
Benny the Blackbird(9)

Benny the blackbird
Lay sick in bed
His mom nursed him
With soothing words
After a few days
Benny'd had enough
"These flus," he cawed,
"Are for other birds!"

(49)
Frosty(10)

Frosty once saw his mom
She stood four yards away
Then the spring arrived in force
Both mom and son changed course.

(50)
Boogaloobalooba

"Boogaloobalooba,"
Said the little snail
Such a long word
For one who has no tail!

To be continued...cheers.
