English poem for children

Easter bunny, hippity hop
Hide 'til Easter morning
Easter bunny, hippity hop
Up! Pops the bunny

Easter bunny soft and white
Hopping quickly out of sight.
Thank you for the eggs you bring
At Easter time to welcome spring.

Yellow eggs and blue and red
In the grass and flower bed
We will hunt them everywhere
Is it really you who put them there?

Easter eggs,
Yellow and blue,
Easter eggs,
For me and you.

Easter eggs,
Candy sweet,
Easter eggs,
Are good to eat.

Easter eggs,
Pretty and funny,
But...
Where oh where is the Easter bunny?

Solomon Grundy,
Born on a Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill on Thursday,
Grew worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday.
That was the end,
Of Solomon Grundy.

When I was one I sucked my thumb,
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a pirate ship,
And the captain said to me -

We're going this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards,
Over the Irish Sea,
We're going this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards,
That's the life for me!

When I was two I buckled my shoe,
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a pirate ship,
And the captain said to me -

When Goldilocks went to the house of the bears,
Oh what did her two eyes see?
A bowl that was huge,
A bowl that was small,
A bowl that was tiny and that was all,
She counted them: one, two, three.

When Goldilocks went to the house of the bears,
Oh what did her two eyes see?
A chair that was huge,
A chair that was small,
A chair that was tiny and that was all,
She counted them: one, two, three.

We're marching in our wellingtons,
Tramp, tramp, tramp!
We're marching in our wellingtons,
We won't get damp!

We're marching in our wellingtons,
Stamp, Stamp, stamp!
We're marching in our wellingtons,
We won't get damp!

We're marching in our wellingtons,
Tramp, tramp, tramp!
We're marching in our wellingtons,
We won't get damp!

We're marching in our wellingtons,
Stamp, Stamp, stamp!
We're marching in our wellingtons,
We won't get damp!

There were ten in the bed and the little one said,
'Roll over, roll over!'
So they all rolled over and one fell out

There were nine in the bed and the little one said,
'Roll over, roll over!'
So they all rolled over and one fell out

There were eight in the bed and the little one said,
'Roll over, roll over!'
So they all rolled over and one fell out

There were seven in the bed and the little one said,
'Roll over, roll over!'
So they all rolled over and one fell out

One big hippo balancing,
Step by step on a slippery rock,
He thought it was such tremendous fun
He called for another hippo to come.

Two big hippos balancing,
Step by step on a slippery rock,
They thought it was such tremendous fun
They called for another hippo to come.

Three big hippos balancing,
Step by step on a slippery rock,
They thought it was such tremendous fun
They called for another hippo to come.

Miss Molly had a dolly
Who was sick, sick, sick
So she called for the doctor
To come quick, quick, quick
The doctor came
With his bag and his hat
And he knocked on the door
With a rat-a-tat-tat.

He looked at the dolly
And he shook his head,
And he said ‘Miss Molly,
Put her straight to bed.’
He wrote on the paper
For a pill, pill, pill
‘I’ll be back in the morning
For the bill, bill, bill.’
