Learning From Uncle John Nursery Rhyme
Uncle John is always jolly
A fisherman ever friendly
Bringing home sea-riches gladly
Sharing them with us lovingly.
On Monday, he catches great fish
Salmon and tuna for tasty dish
Tuesday gives clams or shells’ relish
While Wednesday offers sardine whish.
Each Thursday of good fishing gain
Makes Friday sales big to contain
Saturday, he rests with no strain
Sunday, he prays, “God, bless us again.”
Oh, jolly fisherman’s delight
To give and share with joyous might
He says, “Don’t be selfish; stay bright...”
We learn* from Uncle John, that’s right.
*Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
