THE LITTLE HEN AND THE ROOSTER
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.
