THE LITTLE HEN AND THE ROOSTER
Reading edition
The little hen goes “cut cut cut.” The rooster he goes “cock a doodle doo! You want me and I want you, But I’m up here and you’re down there.” The little hen goes “cut cut cut,” The rooster he steps with a funny little strut, He cocks his eye, gives a funny little sound, He looks at the hen, he looks all around, He flaps his wings, he beats the air, He stretches his neck, then flies to the ground. “Cock a doodle, cock a doodle, cock a doodle doo! Now you have me and I have you!”
MY HORSE, OLD DAN
This verse utilizes a child’s love of enumeration and of movement. The School has found it the most successful of my verse for small children.
