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...QUESTION by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CONSECRATED GROUND; READ AT THE NEW YORK CITY HALL by EDWIN MARKHAM BETRAND AND GOURGAUD TALK OVER OLD TIMES by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: ALONZO CHURCHILL by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
