RHYMES

12 | P a g e
 EVERYDAY I PICK UP MY
SHIRT,
WASH OUT ALL THE
DIRTY
AND DO ALL I CAN

13 | P a g e
 FOR SOON I WILL BE A
MAN

AT SCHOOL I LISTEN
WELL IN CLASS
FOR MY MOTHER WANTS
ME TO PASS

14 | P a g e
 AND MY DADDY WILL
NOT MAKE A FUSS
WHEN MY GRADES ARE
WITH A PLUS

WHEN THE BABY BEGINS

TO CRY
MUMMY WILL BY ALL
MEANS TRY

15 | P a g e
 TO HOLD THE BABY IN
HER PALM
UNTIL A TIME WHEN THE
BABY IS CALM

WITH MY EAR, I CAN

HEAR
CATTLE IN THE KRALL
KETTLE ON THE FIRE

16 | P a g e
 WITH MY EYES, I CAN
TRY
TO SEE VERY FAR
SOMEONE’S CAR

IF I WERE A BIRD, I
WOULD SING A SONG
AND FLY ABOUT THE
WHOLE DAY LONG

17 | P a g e
 AND WHEN THE NIGHT
CAME
GO TO REST, UP IN MY
LITTLE NEST
