The Washing-up Song

by Elizabeth Gould

Sing a song of washing up,

Water hot as hot.

Cups and saucers, plates and spoons,

Dishes such a lot 1

Work the dish mop round and round,

Wash them clean as clean

Polish with a dry white cloth,

How busy we have been!

The Listening Woods

by Ida W. Benham

I looked at the shadowed mosses,

I looked at the nests o'erhead,

I looked at the small brook dreaming

Alone in its sandy bed.

A Logical Song

(or the Conjurer's reason for not getting money)

I would, if I could,

If I couldn't how could I?

I couldn't, without I could, could I?

Could you, without you could, could ye?

Could ye? could ye? Could you, without you could, could ye?

The Brook

by Alfred Tennyson

Grumbling, stumbling, Rustling, hustling,

Fumbling all the day, Bustling as it flows,

Fluttering, stuttering, That it how the brook talks,

Muttering away, bubbling as it goes.

Tugs by James S. Tippet

Chug! Puff! Chugl Busy harbor tugs,

Push, little tug. Like round water bugs,

Chugl Puffl Chug! Hurry here and there,

Pull, strong tug. Working everywhere.

A Lazy Thought by Eve Merriam

There go the grown-ups No wonder

To the office, Grown-ups

To the store. Won't grow up

Subway rush, Any more.

Traffic crash; It takes a lot

Hurry, scurry, Of slow

Worry, flurry. To grow.
