Dear little Fish
,小,说,网
dear little fish; i love you so
i’ll feed you bread so you will grow。
each day; i’ll give you one sweet kiss
and promise you i’ll never miss!
but on the day ; my dear little fish;
you grow too big for your small dish。
i will take you to the sea;
and in one move; i’ll let you free。
how you’ll be so glad to go;
but dear little fish; i’ll miss you so。
i will wait all through the day
to see if you turn’ round this way。
and i will wait all trough the night;
to see if you e back in sight。
oh! i will throw my only hat
to see if you will bring it back
and the first joy that i will see;
is when you bring it home to me。
your back will be my favourite boat;
and together we will sail and float。
over the river and cross’ the sea;
to a small island with a palm tree。
there we will both live and play;
“catch the hat” by night and day。
and i will know your love for me
for you came home when i set you free。

My friend the Moon
?小说、网
alone at sea in the indaco night;
i found a moon slumbering tight。
i called out his name so his dreaming would end;
“dear mr。 moon; would you be my friend?”
he happily came right down to my boat;
“how oddly; “ he said; “you keep you afloat。”
“i am swinging on a star;
and i think it much better; much better by far!”
and the moon began to rock and sway;
to show he had a better way。
he even did a great back flip;
which had always been his favourite trick。
but then string tore with a snap!
“oh dear!” i cried; “what a mishap!”
he fell right down in a quick flash;
and hit the water with a splash!
he began to sink and did not stop;
til all i saw his moon…top。
but then he showed a great knack;
for floating up on to his back。
but i could not just watch him float;
so helped him up into my boat。
i took my towel and dried him off;
so that he would not catch a cough。
and then i began to row to shore;
so that he could dry some more。
and somehow got him trough the door;
with a touch of magic to be sure!
then we sat and sang together;
“lady blue”
and
“stormy weather。”
and how we twirled all night;
just me and moon; what a sight!
we danced until our feet were sore;
we danced until we could no more。
then we sat and read a book;
and mr。 moon loughed’till his belly shook。
we cooked together; then ate a bite;
and wished each other a fond “goodnight”
and while he slept i sailed again;
to see if i could find another friend;
in the middle of the sea;
mr。 sun smiled down to me。
my new friends woke to find each other;
as friend and friend; brother and brother。
and together we now live and play;
day and night; night and day!

Goodnight Little Moon
high up above in the blue starry sky;
the moon read two birds a soft lullaby。
soon one by one they drifted to sleep;
‘til there wasn’t a chirp or one little cheep。
when the moon saw they both were at rest;
he took his big book and covered their nest。
the moon tiptoed back into the dark night;
to keep his sweet chicks safely in sight。
but later that eve; the little moon heard;
the twitter and chirp of a new baby bird。
and as he crept to the nest for a peak;
the little moon saw a third chirping beak!
why; they weren’t asleep。
not a single; sole one!
they were laughing and playing and having such fun。
now the little moon was so glad that he came;
and climbed in the nest for a little bird game。
but soon the moon had a very great thirst;
and wanted to have a little drink first。
the three baby birds found a bottle to spare;
and filled it with milk for the four to share。
but the moon was so thirsty he took a big sip;
and as he leaned back; he started to slip!
he stumbled and tumbled right over the brink;
before he could grab on; before he could blink!
and before his new friends could count up to three;
the moon fell right back; right out of the tree!
he dropped like a stone through the dark starry sky;
and the little birds hoped he knew how to fly。
but the moon hit the hard earth right on his back;
and the three little birds heard a great “craaaack!”
one piece flew left and the other flew right;
‘til the poor little moon was nowhere in sight。
the three little birds flew down to the ground;
and saw him all shattered and scattered around。
why the poor little moon couldn’t whimper or yelp;
so the three little birds called out for some help!
and soon from the sky came all their fine friends;
to piece him together and help make amends。
together they found each little moon part;
and mended him up with love and with heart。
gently they held him and lifted with care;
and carried him high up; high up in the air。
the three little birds flew back to their nest;
and lay the moon down to get some good rest。
and as the moon drifted so softly to sleep;
he heard a sweet chirping; a soft little cheep。
for the three little birds read a sweet lullaby;
high up above; in the blue starry sky。
