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

This was such a clever, cute one. Gosh, to be as creative as you. What fun it would be. As a kindergarten teacher and a mother of three, this poem made me smile and chuckle. It was so terribly clever and so darn cute. I saw all the cute characters friends as I read. Bless Mother Goose and all the goslings in "her flock"

Amazing and delightful, Ilene. It brought back many memories of my childhood. A favorite musical piece of mind is Ravel's La Mère Oie (Mother Goose suite). You get a blue ribbon for this one. / Maurice

Love it! My hat's off to you for this one, Ilene....right down my alley, although I don't think I've gotten around to Mother Goose...as yet.
