Answer 1

This is a version on a poem my father would recite to me and I memorized as a child

My mother said

If I was good

And made the bed,

And watched the telephone

She would send me out

To buy a chocolate ice cream cone

So I did the things she said

Then she made some gingerbread

Then I went out

Just me alone

And got myself a chocolate ice cream cone

Then a little dog came up and took a great big l**k

Then I hit that mean old dog with just a little stick

Then he bit me, where I sit down

And then he chased me all over town

Now I am lost

I can find my home

All because of a chocolate ice cream cone.

The full version follows and it by Kenny Roberts

Chocolate Ice Cream Cone

My mama said if I'd be good,

She'd send me to the store

She said she'd bake some Gingerbread

If I would sweep the floor.

She said if I would make the bed

And watch the telephone

That she would send me out to get

A chocolate ice cream cone.

And so I did the things she said

And then she made some Gingerbread

Then I went out, just me alone

And got my chocolate ice cream cone.

While coming back I stubbed my toe

Upon a big old stone

Now need I tell you that I dropped

My chocolate ice cream cone.

A little puppy came along

And he took a great big l**k

And so I hit that mean old dog

With just a little stick.

Then he bit me where I sit down

And he chased me all over town

So, now I'm lost, I can't find my home

And all because of that chocolate ice cream cone

And all because of that chocolate,

Chocolate ice cream cone.

Answer 2

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water,

Jack fell down and broke his crown,

and Jill came tumbling after.

or... if you want something original...

Billy the old goat,

Wanted to cross the moat,

He went over the bridge,

To get to the fridge,

Just to eat a coat.

HAHA. I know its terrible.

or

Freddy was a ghost,

who was scarier than most

and wanted to eat pot roast.

Unfortunately every day,

Although he would pray,

All he would get was toast.

Answer 3

1-2-3-4-5

once I caught a fish alive

6-7-8-9-10

then I let it go again.

(when he says the numbers he shows his fingers - 1-2...you get my gist)

If he remembers that easily, go for the second verse, otherwise stop at the first.

Why did you let it go

because it bit my finger so

which finger did it bite

this little finger on the right (shows little right finger with a bandage on it)

Good luck

Answer 4

Last night I saw upon the stair

A little man who was not there

He was not there again today

Gee, I wish he'd go away!

(Ogden Nash)

(correction: I'd always seen it attributed to Ogden Nash, but some claim it's really by William Hughes Mearns and plagiarized by Nash)

Answer 5

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the king's horses and all the king's men,

Could not put Humpty together again.

Baa Baa black sheep, have you any wool;

Yes sir Yes sir three bags full

One for the master and one for his dame

And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.

Who can climb the tree,

Neither you nor I

But when the leaves hand trembling

The wind is passing by

Who can see the wind

Neither I nor you

But when the trees bow down their head

The wind is passing through.
