speckled
frogs.

One Two Buckle my Shoe
One two buckle my shoe
Three, four, knock at the door
Five, six, pick up sticks
Seven, eight, lay them straight

Eleven, twelve, dig and delve
Thirteen, fourteen, maids a-courting
Fifteen, sixteen, maids in the kitchen
Seventeen, eighteen, maids in waiting
Nineteen, twenty, my plate is empty

Eating cherries off a plate.

Five he casts away.

Nine, he comes; ten he tarries;
Eleven, he courts, twelve, he marries.

Five Rosy Apples
Five rosy apples by the cottage door,
One tumbled off a twig and then there were four.
Four rosy apples by the cottage door,
The farmer’s wife took one and then there were three.
Three rosy apples by the cottage door,
I think I’ll have one and then there’ll be two.
Two rosy apples hanging in the sun,
You have the big one and that will leave one.
One rosy apple, soon it is gone.
The wind blew it off the branch and now there are none


Two little dicky birds,
Two Little Dicky Birds
Sitting on a wall;
One named Peter,
The other named Paul.
Fly away, Peter!
Fly away, Paul!
Come back, Peter!
Come back, Paul!



Two Little Hands

Two little feet go tap, tap, tap;

One little head goes side to side

30 Days Hath September
Thirty days of September,
April, June and November;
All the rest have thirty-one,
Excepting February alone,
And that has twenty-eight days clear
And twenty-nine in each leap year.

3 Blind Mice
Three blind mice,
Three blind mice,
See how they run,
See how they run!
They all ran after  
the farmer�s wife,
Who cut off their tails  
with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such  
a thing in your life,
As three blind mice?
