Listen to poem:

Farewell Mother Goose Farewell 2020

Farewell Mother Goose Farewell 2020
David J Walker  (12/21/2020)

Old Mother Hubbard was
Dancing a jig
To a tune of long ago
The little dog laughed to
See her swig from a cup
Of his yellow snow 

While little boy blue
Was tooting his horn 
The cow jumped 
Over the moon
Little Bo-Peep was 
Singing forlorn to a year
That was out of tune 

And little Jack Horner
Abandoned his corner 
The candle had burned itself out
And three little kittens made 
Face masks of mittens
And went on their way about 

Then Hickory Dickory
 Annoyed with Dock 
Could wait not longer to chime
Pushed on the hands to 
Hurry the clock 
To end this weary rhyme

Audios 
	So long 
		Farewell 
2020
Aufweidersein
		Adieu
The clock will strike 
Your final hour
As we wave goodbye 
To you
