A Little Burro - Nursery Rhyme

I had a little burro
  I made it out of clay

And when I put its teeth in
  My burro, it could bray

Hee-haw  hee-haw  hee-haw
  My burro, it would say

Honkity  honk-honk  honk-honk
  When a goose got in its way

Good stuff, Gershon. I thought of a dreidel at first from the rhythm scheme. Very catchy, I keep reading it over in my head.

Hey, Eric. You are so right. The rhythm is modeled after the old dreidel song. Thanks! ~ Gumby and Pokey

Thank you so much, Alexis. I think that it's age-appropriate because I was five last year, and I still remember a lot of stuff. lol. Cheers, Alexis!
