Laughing Time

by William Jay Smith

It was laughing time, and a tall Giraffe

Lifted his head and began to laugh:

На! На! На! На!

And the Chimpanzee on the gingko tree

Swung merrily down with a Tee Нее Нее:

Нее! Нее! Нее! Нее!

"It's certainly not against the law!"

Croaked Justice Crow with a loud guffaw:

Haw! Haw! Haw! Haw!

The dancing bear who could never say "No"

Waltzed up and down on the tip of his toe:

Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

The donkey daintily took his paw,

And around they went: Hee-Haw! Hee-Haw!

Hee-Haw! Hee-Haw!

The moon had to smile and it started to climb,

All over the world it was laughing time!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Hee-Haw! Hee-Haw!

Нее! Нее! Hee! Heel Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

The Corn-song

by J. G. Whittier

Heap high the farmer's wintry hoard

Heap high the golden corn!

No richer gift has autumn poured

From out her lavish horn!

Washing

by John Drinkwater

What Is all this washing about,

Every day, week in, week out?

From getting up till going to bed,

I'm tired of hearing the same thing said.

Whether I am dirty or whether I am not,

Whether the water is cold or hot,

Whether I like it or whether I don't —

Whether I will or whether I won't —

Have you washed your hands, and washed your face?

I seem to live in the washing-place.
