 A Hairy Scary Spider
 

A hairy scary spider
Had a shiny head of hair
While making his web tighter
He saw a small girl to scare
 

The hairy scary spider
Lowered himself down the tree
He hoped that he would scare her
More than any bumblebee
 

The hairy scary spider
Waited to tickle her head
Quietly he came closer
Only hanging by a thread
 

Then a strong wind blew by her
Moving the hair on her head
The hairy scary spider
Floated far away instead
 
 
 

Mymerma The Bird
 
 

Mymerma is a bird that sings
Tweet-Tweet a little Tweet Too Too
And she has feathers on her wings
Tweet-Tweet a little Tweet Too Too
 

High up in a shade tree she’ll sit
Tweet-Tweet a little Tweet Too Too
She's happy her new sneakers fit
Tweet-Tweet a little Tweet Too Too
 

She loves to sing both night and day
Tweet-Tweet a little Tweet Too Too
There's nothing more she’d rather say
Tweet-Tweet a little Tweet Too Too
 

So if you hear her sing one day
Tweet-Tweet a little Tweet Too Too
I hope you'll join along and say
Tweet-Tweet a little Tweet Too Too
 
 
 

Ding-A-Ling The Bear
 
 

Ding-a-ling bear sat on a log
He missed his happy friend the frog
But then he heard a song he knew
The words in it were very few
 

Ribbit - Ribbit - Ribbit - Ribbit
A song this bear just loved to sing
Ribbit - Ribbit - Ribbit - Ribbit
It had a very pleasant ring
 

He heard his best friend sing a song
And knew that soon he'd be along
The sound he heard the froggy make
Was echoing across the lake
 

Ribbit - Ribbit - Ribbit - Ribbit
He heard this song around the bend
Ribbit - Ribbit - Ribbit - Ribbit
Ding-a-ling bear could see his friend
 
 
 

A Choo-Choo Train
 
 

The mighty rumble of the trains
The locomotive on the plains
What child hasn't watched amazed
The trails these great machines had blazed
 

So powerful and made of steel
Noisy vibrations you could feel
On railroad tracks the trains would ride
And they would sway from side to side
 

When these big trains would come around
Their horns would make a roaring sound
There my eyes were filled with wonder
As the wheels sounded like thunder
 

Recall the memory you had
When you were just a little lad
A Choo-Choo train traveling fast
A magic that was bound to last
 
 
 

Buggle Wuggles
 
 

Buggle Wuggles the lightning bug
A lovely bug who needs a hug
Her little light lights up the night
On her tail is a glowing light

Look at her flying in the air
She will go flying anywhere
Her nighttime light is such a sight
Blinking and glowing it is bright
 

There’s no place she would rather be
Then playing games with you and me
She likes to sing the A B Cs
One at a time under the trees
 

She’s always ready for a hug
The happy lucky lightning bug
 
 
 

A Funny Duck Named Quack Quack
 
 

There’s a funny duck named Quack Quack
Who carries around a backpack
Inside is everything he needs
 

He likes to take a hikes in the woods
Discovers all of nature’s goods
On his head is a band of beads
 

He always wears a green raincoat
And in his pocket is a note
He keeps a pen behind his ear

He's friends with all the animals
He loves to watch the waterfalls
He is always full of good cheer
 
 
 

An Itsy Bitsy Baby Ant
 
 

An Itsy Bitsy Baby Ant
Was trying to climb up a plant
He went halfway and scratched his nose
And one by one he stretched his toes
 

He wanted to get to the top
At least that's what he told his pop
What would he do when he got there
He did not know and did not care
 

Finally the ant reached the top
He was tired and had to stop
The view was very nice to see
As the ant smiled happily
 

The ant started to walk around
The ant was high above the ground
As he took a leisurely stroll
The baby ant fell through a hole
 
 
 

The Toys You Give Them
 
 

All of our little girls and boys
Have so much fun playing with toys
And they will play with anything
A block a kite or golden ring
 

Just watch their little smiles appear
When you give them something so dear
Their little hands reach out to you
Their hearts will glow with a thank-you
 

The toys you give them big or small
From a rocking horse to a ball
Will give a child hours of joy
To think it came from just a toy
 

Giving to little boys and girls
Is more precious than any pearls
The gift you give is from the heart
It may be small but it’s a start
 
 
 
 

A Kangaroo
 
 

A kangaroo jumped on my bed
And almost landed on my head
Where he came from I do not know
He might have jumped through the window

The kangaroo had big wide feet
He used his large tail as a seat
He looked like he wanted to play
But all he did was bounce away

He jumped on my bed and my chair
He jumped on top of my stuffed bear
He jumped off the floor and wall
He bounced around just like a ball

The kangaroo jumped up and down
He was as silly as a clown
I told the kangaroo to go
So he jumped out of my window
 
 
 

Crumble Rumble Stumble Stew
 
 

Here is a neat treat just for you
Called Crumble Rumble Stumble Stew
So yummy for your tummy too
Try Crumble Rumble Stumble Stew
 

Eat it any time of day
Then maybe I will hear you say
I like this chewy stewy goo
Named Crumble Rumble Stumble Stew
 

It's made with imagination
So eat this blue stew for some fun
Why not invite a friend or two
For Crumble Rumble Stumble Stew
 

Don't be shy do not hesitate
Bless this mess all over your plate
If you want some here's what to do
Have mom or dad make you this stew
 
 
 

On A Splendid Magic Carpet
 
 

On a splendid magic carpet
Faster than a speeding jet
I traveled to a rain forest
And that is where I met
 

A lovely enchanted princecess
Wearing a beautiful dress
Without a word a spell was set
When I felt her caress
 

Holding my hand she said to me
This is a special place to be
Please tell the world what you have found
The magic that you see
 

I saw abundance all around
Full of life and full of sound
The rain forest must remain free
It’s beauty will astound
 
 
 

Turtle Bear
 
 

I'm a funny little creature
Have you ever seen me before
I like swimming in the water
But I love honey even more
 

I have this hard shell on my back
This is my very own backpack
Inside I like to keep a snack
I like this blue shell on my back
 

You might like my fluffy bear paws
My hands and feet do not have claws
A bear inside a turtle shell
A combination I wear well
 

I look funny when I get wet
You must promise not to forget
My name is Turtle Bear you see
I’m footloose and I’m fancy free
 
 
 
 

Bug Eye Wings
 
 

French fried beatles and spider webs
I like to eat them in my bed
You heard exactly what I said
French fried beatles and spider webs
 

Big crawling bugs with crunchy shells
I like the ones that really smell
In a sandwich they taste so swell
Big crawling bugs with crunchy shells
 

Snow cone critters on a hot day
Is sure to take your thirst away
Already I can hear you say
Snow cone critters on a hot day
 

A tasty meal called bug eye wings
When I eat them I start sing
If you visit I hope to bring
A tasty meal called bug eye wings
 
 
 
 

Bath Time
 
 

Bath time is so much fun for me
When I and captain of the sea
My ships keep bobbing all round
For unknown places they are bound
 

Sometimes a storm will sink a boat
My hands are quick to make it float
In the bathtub I am happy
To be the captain of the sea
 

I can be captain of the ship
Set out on a dangerous trip
There are many perils to face
Like lost at sea without a trace
 

The warm waters in my bathtub
A ship or boat or a toy sub
Is all I need to help me be
A brave captain out on the sea
 
 
 
 

Candy Dreams
 
 

Rainbow wishes and candy kisses
Chewy gumdrops and bright red fishes
Painted gumballs and soft bubblegum
Candy dreams everybody has some
 

Blowing bubbles is not much trouble
I liked licking raspberry rubble
Coated candies and strawberry chew
I liked eating them what about you
 

Candy apples and cotton candy
Sweet licorice is very dandy
When you give let it be a sweet
any time for me is a real treat
 
 
 
 

Reflections
 
 

When my vision was crystal clear
The many colors seemed so near
And every image felt so sharp
Like music flowing from a harp
 

Nature seemed closer in those days
When I could see the sun’s bright rays
No hazy shadows came to me
Those younger years when I could see
 

Then slowly and without a trace
My eyes were squinting on my face
What was that object by the tree
Reflections of a younger me
 

And now that I have become old
And all the stories have been told
Believe in love and you will find
Love is the greatest it is kind
 
 
 
 

Sixty Seconds
 
 

Sixty seconds in a minute
Start a race to try to win it
Sixty minutes make an hour
Don't look now you’re out of power
 

Twenty-four hours in a day
You think you have a better way
Just count the minutes one by one
And soon a single day is done
 

But every second seems so long
You wonder if there's something wrong
But then you think you really know
An end to this continued flow
 

Make every second disappear
Now everything becomes so clear
That with no seconds in the gears
You have no minutes days or years
 
 
 
 

The Greatest Star
 
 

I see the bright star out tonight
I use it as a guiding light
Of all the stars upon the dome
This is the light that leads me home
 

The greatest star so it would seem
There’s no other to match her gleam
A beacon for me in the night
You always are a welcomed sight
 

I know when the daylight is spent
A strong message from you is sent
A signal to me anywhere
A nighttime friend I’m glad you're there
 

And when I reach my journey's end
I look to you my shining friend
With grateful thoughts I think of you
Your light is always coming through
 
 
 
 

The Seashore Water Way
 
 

You smell the salty ocean air
And soon you're left without a care
The sandy beach is all round
The sea gulls make their calling sound
 

The pounding surf is not too far
Just cross the sand and there you are
You watch the waves come crashing in
Suntan lotion is on your skin
 

The sky is blue the sand is white
Someone is flying a red kite
Airplanes with tales go flying by
There is not one cloud in the sky
 

The water's cold so you go slow
And you can feel the undertow
This is how you will spend the day
Down by the seashore water way
 
 
 
 

A Small Garden
 
 

A small garden is all I need
To plant my flowers and my seeds
A little patience and sunshine
Along with water makes things fine
 

On hands and knees I plant my seeds
A spade I use to dig out weeds
Time is the only thing that tells
If everything will turn out well
 

And as each day goes passing by
I wonder what new things I'll try
The garden is full and it looks good
The garden sits where grass once stood
 

So start a garden if you will
And discover a pleasant thrill
By eating all the things you sow
Just plant the seeds and let them grow
 
 
 
 

A Sunset
 
 

Just watch a sunset all a glow
There are no two the same you know
So beautiful for you to see
And there is no admission fee
 

The colors flow without a care
And you are sure to get your share
Of pastel orange red and gold
And other colors soft and bold
 

The sun sets as a big round ball
Out of the sky you see it fall
The giving light soon disappears
and in return the night appears
 

So count each second that goes by
And watch the sun fall from the sky
Taking with it the sunshine too
Taking with it a piece of you
 
 
 

Paradise
 
 

In my backyard there is a stream
I go there often to daydream
The water trickles very slow
The only hideaway I know
 

The sun will shine down on my face
While I rest in this peaceful place
I like to watch the birds fly by
Or gaze into the wide blue sky
 

A fish might jump up for a bug
My fishing line might get a tug
The trees provide a gentle shade
And soon the mid-day heat will fade
 

I like to listen to the sound
Or look for new things to be found
There is no place I'd rather be
Then in this paradise for me
 
 
 
 

Strawberry Peaches
 
 

Strawberry peaches on my plate
They look so good and taste so great
It's true I can't believe I ate
Strawberry peaches on my plate
 

Raspberry pears for me to eat
They smell so good and taste so sweet
I would consider them a treat
Raspberry pears for me to eat
 

Blueberry apples are yummy
And I can pick one off a tree
I think everyone will agree
Blueberry apples are yummy
 

Banana squares top off my list
they have a funny kind of twist
And fit nicely around your wrist
Banana squares top of my list
 
 
 
 

A Shiny Beetle Bug
 
 

There was a shiny beetle bug
Crawling across my bedroom rug
The bug with green as green could be
And it was looking straight at me
 

I tried to run I tried to hide
It came so close I almost cried
Then it crawled underneath my chair
It seemed to vanish in thin air
 

I peek under my chair to see
Where could the bug possibly be
It wasn’t anywhere in sight
I was glad because it might bite
 

I slipped my sneakers on my feet
And tied my laces really neat
Then on my toe I felt a tap
The bug was there taking a nap
 
 
 

Let's Take A Moon Ride
 
 

While gazing into outer space
To my surprise I see a face
A little pale it looks to me
Is that a face I really see
 

I see the moon to my surprise
Upon reflection I realize
Two hundred thousand miles away
We can get there in half a day
 

Why not I say let's take a zip
I'm sure it will be a fast trip
We'll eat moon biscuits with our lunch
And watch the earth turn as we munch
 

How nice to watch the earth spin by
Such fun to see the space vans fly
And if there's room here we might stay
In zero gravity to play
