First Rhymes

Extract

Here are three of my favourite rhymes from the book.

Remember the originals!

Monday's Child chews kippered plaice,
Tuesday's Child has an eggy face.
Wednesday's Child is full of toast,
Thursday's Child can eat the most.
Friday's Child has the biggest tummy,
Saturday's Child throws beans at his mummy.
But the Child who is born on the Sabbath Day
Has sunlight for breakfast, with buttered sea-spray.

This little piggy flew to Luton
This little piggy sulked at home.
This little piggy crunched doughnuts
This little piggy ate crumbs.
And this little piggy cried, "Wee, wee wee!"
"I need nice new knickers, please, Mum!"

Rub a dub dub,
Three babes in a tub
And who do you think got wet?
The daddy, the mummy,
The teddy bear's tummy,

So
    Hoppity
           Out
                 You
                         GET!
