22. THE WORM by Ralph Bergengren When the earth is turned to spring The worms are fat as anything. And birds come flying all around To eat the worms right off the ground. They like worms just as much as I Like bread and milk and apple pie. And once, when I was very young, I put a worm right on my tongue. I didn't like the taste a bit, And so I didn't swallow it. But oh, it makes my Mother squirm Because she thinks I ate that worm! 23. WINTER COATS by Dorothy Aldis In October, when they know- That very soon there will be snow Cows and horses, sheep and goats Start to grow their winter coats. Each year they grow them, fine and new (And fitting very nicely too) But with no button to undo Nor pockets for a handkerchief. And so they have to snort and sniff. 24. MR. RABBIT by Dixie Willson Mr. Rabbit has a habit That is very cute to see. He wrinkles up and crinkles up His little nose at me. I like my little rabbit, And I like his little brother, And we have a lot of fun Making faces at each other! First and Second Grade Poetry Selections Page 4 25. VELVET FIELD MOUSE by Nona Keen Duffy Velvet, field mouse, soft and sweet, Has four pussywillow feet! Has a soft and silky coat And a furry, silver throat See him sit on two hind feet See him hold the food and eat! He likes seeds of many kinds Eats the plumpest that he finds. Tiny, timid, velvet mouse Has a haystack for his house. 26. FUZZY, WUZZY, CREEPY CRAWLY by Lillian Schultz Vanada Fuzzy, wuzzy, creepy crawly Caterpillar funny You will be a butterfly When the days are sunny. Winging, flinging, dancing, springing Butterfly so yellow You were once a caterpillar, Wiggly, wiggly fellow. 27. IF ALL THE SEAS WERE ONE SEA Anonymous If all the seas were one sea, What a great sea that would be! And if all the trees were one tree, What a great tree that would be! And if all the axes were one axe, What a great axe that would be! And if all the men were one man, What a great man that would be! And if the great man took the great axe, And cut down the great tree, And let it fall into the great sea, What a splish splash that would be!
28. HOW DOTH THE LITTLE CROCODILE by Lewis Carroll How doth the little crocodile Improve his shining tail, And pour the waters of the Nile On every golden scale! How cheerfully he seems to grin, How neatly spreads his claws, And welcomes little fishes in With gently smiling jaws! 30. HOLDING HANDS by Lenore M. Link Elephants walking Along the trails Are holding hands By holding tails. Trunks and tails Are handy things When elephants walk In Circus rings. Elephants work And elephants play And elephants walk And feel so gay. And when they walk- It never fails They're holding hands By holding tails. 31. FATHER, WE THANK THEE by Ralph Waldo Emerson For flowers that bloom about our feet, Father, we thank Thee, For tender grass so fresh and sweet, Father, we thank Thee, For the song of bird and hum of bee, For all things fair we hear or see, Father in heaven, we thank Thee. First and Second Grade Poetry Selections Page 5 32. KIND WORDS by Henry W. Longfellow Kind hearts are the gardens, Kind thoughts are the roots, Kind words are the flowers, Kind deeds are the fruits. Take care of the gardens, And keep them from weeds. Fill, fill them with flowers, Kind words and kind deeds. 33. WHISTLE by Dorothy Aldis I want to learn to whistle, I've always wanted to; I fix my mouth to do it, but The whistle won't come through. I think perhaps it's stuck and so I try it once again; Can people swallow whistles; Where is my whistle then? 34. BUGS by Dorothy Aldis I like bugs. Black bugs, Green bugs, Bad bugs. Mean bugs, Any kind of bug. A bug in a rug. A bug in the grass, A bug on the sidewalk, A bug on the glass, I like bugs. Round bugs, Shiny bugs, Fat bugs, Buggy bugs, Big bugs, Lady bugs, I like bugs.
