John Williams Poet Rhyme

My Growing Lamb

Zim, zim, zam, my pet lamb,
Chases me across the lawn,
Zim, zim, zam, my pet lamb,
Eight weeks since she was born.

Bip, bop, beep, my young sheep,
Munching on much green grass,
Bip bop, beep, my young sheep,
Growing bigger as weeks pass.

Baa, baa, baa, my woolly friend,
Is now a great big sheep,
Baa, baa, baa, now fully grown, 
Enough to make you weep.

Lindsay Laurie August 11, 2015 at 8:45 PM G'day John... good reciter for kids John because they do love lambs. When they do become sheep though they do tend to transform into... I won't say; kids might be reading your comments - Lindsay John Williams August 12, 2015 at 3:31 AM Hi Lindsay, I wrote this one as a reciter for Kindergarten---hence the repetitive words---kids of that age love it because everyone can join in.........thanks Lindsay--------John

Kp Nunez August 10, 2015 at 7:52 AM Nice! It would really be nice if this is read by kids in this site, John. I no longer have one who's young enough to appreciate this though...so it's only me who does :-))) John Williams August 10, 2015 at 8:59 PM Hi Kim, Yes, this was written for Kindergarten age children. I think it would be nice for them to recite. But it is so nice that you appreciate my work and have an understanding of my writing for different ages. Thanks for stopping by Kim-------your Australian friend-------John
