Come, let us all sing very high And all sing very loud And keep on singing in the street Until there's quite a crowd; And keep on singing in the house And up and down the stairs; Then underneath the furniture Let's all play Polar bears; And crawl about with doormats on, And growl and howl and squeak, Then in the garden let us fly And play at hid and seek; And "Here we gather Nuts and May," "I wrote a Letter" too, "Here we go round the Mulberry Bush," "The Child who lost its shoe"; And every game we ever played. And then -- to stay alive -- Let's end with lots of Birthday Cake Because to-day you're five. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CAVALIER'S SONG by WILLIAM MOTHERWELL THE CUCKOO by ALEXANDER ANDERSON COMPANY COMMANDER by GUILLAUME APOLLINAIRE LILIES: 8 by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) MARTYRS TO THE MAN by WILLIAM ROSE BENET ASCENSION OF A CITY FOG by FRANCES COFFIN BOAZ |
