   All By Myself

 

There are things that I can do
All by myself.

I can comb my hair and tie my shoes
All by myself.

I can bath and brush my teeth
All by myself.

I can stretch and touch my feet
All by myself.

I can wash my hands and face
All by myself.

I can even put the toys in place

All by myself.

With colours bright and new!

And I know you like it, too!

 

It’s a green day, It’s a clean day, It’s a new day today!

I like painting my dreams,

Let’s show them the way!

 

  Mice and Cat

 

One mouse, two mice, three mice, four,

Stealing from their tunnel, creeping  through the door.

Softly! Softly! Don’t make a sound –

Don’t let your little feet, patter on the ground.                                                                                                              

 

There on the rug, sleek and fat,

Soundly sleeping, lies old Tom Cat.

If he should hear you, there’d be no more

Of one mouse, two mice, three mice, four.

So please be careful, how far you roam,

For if you should wake him…he’d-chase-you-all-home!

 

  My body

 

All may stand up straight and tall. 
Chins up high, one and all ! 
Hands on hips, hands on knees, 
Put them behind you if you please. 
Touch your fingers, 
Now your nose. 
Touch your ears, and now your toes. 
Raise your hands up high in the air, 
Down at your sides, 
Now touch your hair. 
Now, if you please, 
Touch your elbows, 
Now your knees. 
Raise your hands up high as before, 
Now sit down, hands quiet once more. 
Eyes to the front, 
Feet on the floor.

 

   My Cat Likes to Hide in Boxes

 

The cat from Berlin, played the violin.

The cat from Brazil, caught a very bad chill.

The cat from Greece, joined the police.

The cat from Norway, got stuck in the doorway.

The cat from Spain, flew an aeroplane.

The cat from France, liked to sing and dance.

But

MY cat likes to hide in boxes.

 

  Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been?

 

"Pussycat, Pussycat, where have you been?"
"I've been up to London to visit the Queen."
"Pussycat, Pussycat, what did you there?"
"I frightened a little mouse under her chair"
"MEOWW!" Has anybody seen my mouse?
I opened his box for half a minute,
Just to make sure he was really in it,
And while I was looking, he jumped outside!
I tried to catch him, I tried, I tried….
I think he's somewhere about the house.
Has anyone seen my mouse?

I look in the mirror and what do I see?
I see a happy face smiling at me.
I look in the mirror and what do I see?
I see a sad face frowning at me.

   The Seefood Diet

 

I’ve started on a seefood diet.
I highly recommend you try it.
You eat whatever food you see;
a grape, a crepe, a pear, a pea,
a candy cane, some bubble gum,
a piece of pie, a peach, a plum,
banana pancakes, chicken legs,
a dozen donuts, boiled eggs,
spaghetti noodles, steaks,
vanilla ice cream, birthday cakes,
a hundred pizzas, chocolate mousse,
and gallon jugs of apple juice.

The seefood diet. Just can’t beat it.
Whenever you see food, you eat it.
I’m pretty sure you won’t lose weight,
But, what the heck? The food is great!
