    You see we get a rest,
    My mother smiles at hiking,
    But says she hopes the craze
    Will last a little longer,
    It gives us holidays.

  2. Rhymes

    Share Share Post
    Mary had a little dog
    He was an noble pup
    He would stand upon his hind legs
    When you hold his front legs up.
    A wish
    Would that the lips could utter
    & the heart would say
    All the joys and gladness
    I wish for you today
    Chick, Chick, Chick,
    Lay a little egg for me
    I didn't eat one since Easter
    And I just like one for tea
