    Hey, diddle, diddle

           Hey, diddle, diddle,

           The cat and the fiddle,

           The cow jumped over the moon.

           The little dog laughed

           To see such fun,

           And the dish ran away with the spoon!  

             
               Humpty-Dumpty
           

               Humpty-Dumpty sat on a wall,
               Humpty-Dumpty had a great fall;
               All the king`s horses and all the King`s men
               Couldn`t put Humpty together again. 

                                         

              One, two, three, four five,                                        One, two, three, four,
              Once I caught a fish alive!                                         Mary`s at the cottage door,
              Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,                                         Five, six, seven, eight,
              Then I let it go again!                                                 Eating cherries on the plate.
              Why did you let it go?
              Because it bit my finger so!
              Which finger did it bite?
              This little finger on my right!

                      
               Baa, baa, black ship,
               Have you any wool?
               Yes, sir! Yes, sir!
               Three bags full!
               One for the master
               And one for the dame
               And one for the little boy
               Who lives down the lane!
                                                    

                 
                                
                   Chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken,
                   Lay a little egg for me!
                   Chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken,
                   I want one for my tea!
                   I haven`t had an egg since Easter,
                   And now it`s half past three!
                  So, chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken,
                   Lay a little egg for me!

                                               Mary had a little lamb (song)

           Mary had a little lamb,                                      It followed her to school one day, 

            Its fleece was white as snow;                           Which was against the rule; 

            And everywhere that Mary went                     It made the children laugh and play 

            The lamb was sure to go.                                  To see a lamb at school. 

             And so the teacher turned it out,                      Why does the lamb love Mary so? 

             But still it lingered near,                                     The eager children cry; 

             And waited patiently about                                Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know, 

             Till Mary did appear.                                           The teacher did reply.

    

       Jack and Jill went u the hill

      To fetch a jug of water,

      Jack fell down and broke his crown

      And Jill came tumbling after!

        

           

            Thirty days has September,

            April, June and November.

            All the rest have thirty-one,

            Except February alone.

            And leap year is the time

           When February has twenty-nine.

       

                                                 

     
                         The star

             Twinkle, twinkle, little star,                                                 
             How I wonder what you are!
             Up above the world so high,
             Like a diamond in the sky.

                              Mother goose rhymes

             Pussy cat, pussy cat, Where have you been?
             I`ve been up to London to visit the queen.

             Pussy cat, pussy cat, what did you there?
            I frightened a little mouse under the chair.
                                                                                  

                                 
       
         Bow-wow, says the dog,
         Mew, mew, says the cat,
         Crunt, grunt, goes the hog,
         And squeak goes the rat.
         Tu-whu, says the crow,
         Caw, caw, says the duck,
         And what cuckoos say you know.       

           
        Hickory, dickory, dock,
        The mouse ran up the clock.
        The clock struck one,
        The mouse ran down,
        Hickory, dickory dock.

Good advice Work while you work,   Play while you play; That is the way   To be happy and gay. All that you do, Do with your might; Things done but half, Are never done right.                If a task is once begun Never leave it till it`s done. Be the labour great or small, Do it well or not at all.	Timothy Trotter  trot [trɒt] поспішати lettuce  [ˈletɪs] салат-латук Timothy Trotter trots to town To shop for his pet rabbit. Lettuce he buys and carrot tops, For that`s his weekly habit.

                           

Mother Goose Melodies

Ding Dong Bell

"Ding Dong Bell" is a popular nursary rhyme. It`s origin goes back to the 16th century England. 
"Ding Dong Bell" has an educational meaning against animal cruelty. 
Ding, dong, bell! Pussy`s in the well.
Who put her in? Little Johnny Flynn.
Who pulled her out? Little Tommy Stout?
What a naughty boy was that,
To try to drawn poor pussy cat,
Who never did him any harm,
But killed all the mice in the farmer`s barn. 
                       

Star light, star bright

Star light, star bright,
First star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight!

                            

Put on your hat,
Put on your coat,
For we have a journey
Away on a boat!

I saw a ship a-sail,
A-sail on the sea,
And oh, but it was full
Of lovely things for tea!

Pat - a cake, pat - a - cake, baker`s man,
Bake me a cake as fast as you can!
Roll it and pat it, and mark it with a "B",
And bake it in the oven for baby and me! 

                                                                           

In my photo
You can see
A little dolphin
In the sea!
Look at the fish in my photo, too!
The fish is green,
And the sea is blue! 


Thumbs up,
Thumbs down,
Turn round and round!
Thumbs down,
Thumbs up,
Now all jump up! 

"Hello, how are you?"
Said the Queen of Hearts.
"I`m fine, I`m fine!" said Jack.
"Let`s sing! Let`s sing!"
Said the queen to the king
And then Jack said "Good luck!"

Yankee-Doodle went to town,
A-riding on a pony.
Stuck a feather in his cap
And called it macaroni! 

                                              
A-hunting we will go!
A-hunting we will go!
To catch a fox
And put it in a box
And never let it go!
                                   
Ring the bell,
Ding - a - ling - a - ling!
On the well,
Ding - a - ling - a - ling!
Ring it loud,
Ring it clear,
Ring for everyone to hear! 

Higgledy, piggledy,
My black hen,
She lays eggs,
For gentlemen!
Sometimes nine,
And sometomes ten,
Higgledy, piggledy,
My black hen!

One man is selling hats,

Two men are painting cats.

Three women are making flowers,

Four children are counting hours.

Five sheep have dirty feet.

Six babies have clean teeth.

Seven boxes are full of rocks,

Eight mice are wearing socks.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

Writing poems is really great.
