1) Over the river
Over the river and through the woods To Grandmother's house we go. The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh Through white and drifted snow. Over the river and through the woods, Oh, how the wind does blow. It stings the toes and bites the nose As over the ground we go. …………………………… Over the river and through the woods And straight through the barnyard gate. It seems that we go so dreadfully slow; It is so hard to wait. Over the river and through the woods, Now Grandma's cap I spy. Hurrah for fun; the pudding's done; Hurrah for the pumpkin pie.
2)Love
  Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind, But as for me, alas, I may no more. The vain travail hath wearied me so sore, I am of them that farthest cometh behind. Yet may I by no means my wearied mind Draw from the deer, but as she fleeth afore Fainting I follow. I leave off therefore, Since in a net I seek to hold the wind. Who list her hunt, I put him out of doubt, As well as I may spend his time in vain. And graven with diamonds in letters plain There is written, her fair neck round about: “Noli me tangere, for Caesar’s I am, And wild for to hold, though I seem tame.
”Whoso list: whoever wants Hind: Female deer
Noli me tangere: “Don’t touch me”
5) Evolution
 Scholars say mankind is a product of evolution Citing many textbooks for their conclusion They say man is a descendant of the ape That there is no Heaven; no Pearly Gate Scholars say mankind is a product of evolution And some argue for this man made solution But God created Earth and God created Man Why is this so hard for them to understand? Scholars say mankind is a product of evolution And this muddled thinking has lead to confusion Maybe man does act like a monkey sometimes But it's God's help they seeks when in a bind.
6) I’m growing I wonder if I’m growing
 I wonder if I’m growing My mom says yes I’m growing But it’s hard for me to see My mom says eat your sandwich it will make you grow up tall But when I eat my sandwich I’m hardly bigger at all And I wonder if I’m growing I wonder if I’m growing My mom says yes I’m growing But it’s hard for me to see My mom says wash your hands now Then you can go and play Hey! I can reach the tap now For the very first time today. And I think I must be growing Oh I know I’m really growing My mom says yes I’m growing And now I know it’s true.

Emmeline Has not been seen For more than a week. She slipped between The two tall trees at the end of the green… We all went after her. “Emmeline!” “Emmeline, I didn’t mean— I only said that your hands weren’t clean.” We went to the trees at the end of the green…. But Emmeline Was not to be seen. Emmeline Came slipping between The two tall trees at the end of the green. We all ran up to her.
 “Emmeline! Where have you been? Where have you been? Why, it’s more than a week!”
And Emmeline Said, “Sillies, I went and saw the Queen. She says my hands are perfectly clean!”
4) The Vulture
The Vulture eats between his meals,
And that's the reason why
 He very, very rarely feels
As well as you and I.
His eye is dull, his head is bald,
His neck is growing thinner.
Oh! what a lesson for us all
To only eat at dinner!
7) A happy song
Can you hear the birds singing,
Singing such a happy song
On the chilly air they’re flinging
Notes to say that winter’s gone
Or at least, to say he’s going
And that gentle spring is near,
 Over the fields her soft dress flowing,
Coming, coming swiftly here.
Coming with the little snowdrops
Aconites and daisies sweet
Crocuses and daffodils and blue forget-me-nots
Around the feet.

  10) Remember when nearly sixteen On your very first date as a teen At the movies? If yes, Then I bet you can't guess What was shown on the cinema screen.
11) I bought a new Hoover today, Plugged it in in the usual way, Switched it on - what a din; It sucked everything in, Now I'm homeless with no place to stay.
