Bumbles CradleBumble, the baby bee had the best cradle of all
It was carved out of a walnut by his Grandpa Paul
It rocked in the wind, gave a gentle little sway
Bumble slept inside it cozily, snoring away...

annoyed with the feythe elf boy came out of the meadow annoyed with the fey
They had not been especially kind to him on this July day
Some had jeered and made fun of his overlarge ears
His feelings were hurt by these mean sounding jeers
the elf boy’s mama could tell by his face
That he had not been treated respectfully or...

Humiliated by a Trollgnarly snarly wharly harly barley troll
when we use his path, he demands a toll
When we protest, he hangs us upside down
The villagers come by and call us clown
gnarly snarly wharly harly barley troll
Humiliating us kids is his ultimate goal
He is good at it, an expert in fact; I know.
He has hung me twice by my...

singing a rumble dumble tumble ditty
is that an elf, gnome or a faerie?

She is a faerie, said her granddaughter Zee.

She has faerie wings, replied little Zee
You are so bright! Said Grandma Tee....

Him I pity
He knows not what is good for him
You all know him, his name is Jim
Uses his class bench as his cot
What is good for him, he knows not
He likes to live in his own trench
As his cot, uses his class bench
I teach him in life how to thrive
In his own trench, he likes to live
He’s...

clique Rhymesa penny saved is a penny earned
adding insult to injury, her love was spurned
afraid of his own shadow and against all odds
airing his dirty laundry happened to both Todds
the all mighty dollar earned by a chip off the old block
all talk no action and an axe to grind, said Mrs. McLock
barking up the wrong tree...

red rover red rover send mary right overWe used to play red rover red rover send NAME right over.
Send Billy, he’s frilly, his skin’s white as vanilly.
Send Jackie, she’s whacky, let’s give her a smacky.
We were ruthless in our run, slamming arms, yet full of fun.
The game was easy to understand, the person who was named had to run.
And try to get...

giant hole in the groundgiant hole in the ground
I think of course snake
dragon emerges with barely a sound
frightened, I start to shake
at two a.m. the dragon flies back in
how did he fit into that hole for goodness sakes?
I look down and his giant green eye gives me a grin.
I smell the aroma of a giant clam bake
are you okay...

my dragon tiddly widdly willie little winkie weeTiddly Widdly Willie Little Winkie Wee
Was ever so lovely and kind to little old me
I met him when I was living next to the sea
I think we were two, but we might have been three
Tiddly Widdly Willie Little Winkie Wee
was a lopsided dragon with a golden eye you see
My best friend forever, I nicknamed him...

A Christmas PoemRing ting ting-a-ling,
Its that jolly old fat man
With a belly full of jelly,
And that jingle from long long ago...
Ding-dong, ding-dong--
It's that sleigh of reindeer who fly in the sky
That laughter and singing from below and on high--
This is the season
To have a good reason
Ring ting ting-a-ling,
To forget others transgressions and petty deceptions
To join the happy,...

You should Meet His Mothertwitchy, fidgety, nervous Lee
frightened of you, frightened of me
we are not scary, so how can that be?
you should meet his mother said Meridee
She’s as high strung as a mean high wire
snappish, waspish, angry, a non-hire
jittery, jumpy, nervous, nasty too
Lee’s only role model is his mama Sue...
