More Poetry Month

Here's a poem from Schoolyard Rhymes collected by Judy Sierra.  The poet is Anonymous!  It sounds like a jump rope rhyme.  Do you have a favorite jump rope rhyme to share at the Parkland Community Library?  Enjoy.

Oh, my, my.

I want a piece of pie.

Pie too sweet.

I want a piece of meat.

Meat too tough.

I want to ride the bus.

Bus too full.

I want to ride a bull.

Bull too black.

I want my money back.

Money too green.

I want a jellybean.

Bean too red.

I want to go to bed.

Bed too soft.

Throw the pillow off.

Close your eyes

And count to ten,

And if you mess up,

Start over again.
