Mother Goose's Party
Here at Mother Goose’s party
Jack and Jill have just arrived.
Small Bo Peep and Jack be Nimble
Came to greet them and high-fived
While Miss Muffet, busy eating,
Found a spider in her whey.
Even though ‘twas itsy-bitsy,
Humpty Dumpty saved the day.
Georgie Porgie went in search of
Little Jack among the sheep.
He was eating Christmas pie right near
Boy Blue, who was asleep.
As the cat was entertaining
With his fiddle ‘neath the moon,
Some big cow jumped over, looking
For a missing dish and spoon.
There were hot cross buns a’plenty
Selling down by London Bridge.
Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
Hoped to taste one – just a smidge.
Old King Cole made an appearance,
Peter Piper by his side.
Three blind mice played pat-a-cake
While Tommy Tucker ran to hide.
It was quite a festive evening
'Til the striking of the clock,
All to honor Mother Goose
And all the members of her flock.
*Today is officially Mother Goose Day
