L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

Do It Again Nursery Rhyme

One, Two, Three... 
Sing to me, 
Four, five, six... 
Show me tricks, 
Seven, eight, nine... 
You are so fine, 
Last comes ten... 
Do it again! 


[VARIATION] 


One, two... 
What shall we do? 
Three, four... 
Shut the door, 
Five, six... 
Show me tricks, 
Seven, eight... 
Close the gate, 
Nine, ten... 
Do it again!

Eve Roper April 16, 2021 at 12:31 PM Congratulations on your win, Milton! Singing nursery rhymes and songs to children as young as babies can help develop their language and communication skills from an early age. Come visit me in my blog Nursery Rhyme 4 - Eve Roper's Blog (poetrysoup.com) Hugs Eve L Milton Hankins April 16, 2021 at 12:44 PM Thanks, Eve. I certainly will. Although, I think I have about exhausted my nursery rhyme endeavors.

Terry Flood April 16, 2021 at 11:20 AM Congrats on your win ‘L’, for my two penneth worth I prefer the second version, I’m sure many would disagree. Terry L Milton Hankins April 16, 2021 at 12:00 PM I was trying to show that it's flexible, too. I like the second version better myself. Thanks!

Connie Marcum Wong April 13, 2021 at 12:53 AM I can hear the kids chanting this Milton. They love rhymes they can remember to repeat. This is a great entry for the contest that should do well. Blessings xxoo L Milton Hankins April 13, 2021 at 7:04 AM Thanks so much for your confidence, Connie. I appreciated your read and your comment.

Caren Krutsinger April 12, 2021 at 6:37 AM This is what a nursery rhyme should sound like! So bravo! Great job! L Milton Hankins April 12, 2021 at 7:34 AM Well, I think so. So many I am reading are far too complicated for little ones. This is so easily committed to memory and can be repeated over and over. I liked it, too. Thanks for your kind comment.

Gershon Wolf April 11, 2021 at 4:35 PM I like that 'Show me tricks' so much. I can just see little kids attempting to perform them so proudly! G.L. in the contest, my friend. Happy Work-Week, so to speak, Gershon L Milton Hankins April 11, 2021 at 6:40 PM Thanks. Work week??? With COVID can't travel. It's like being a prisoner here in my little house, but, I have had both my shots. I do feel a bit safer now.
