The mouse ran down the clock.

Baa, baa black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three 3 bags full.
One for my master.
One for my dame.
But none for the little boy,
Who cries in the lane.
 
Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon,
The little dog laughed to see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
 
When I was a little girl, I use to read alot:

Cinderalla
Sleeping Beauty
Snow white and 7 dwarfs
Rapazuel
Beauty and Monster

Mine is

Heads and Shoulders
Heads and shoulders,
knees and toes, knees and toes.
Heads and shoulders,
knees and toes, knees and toes.
And eyes and ears, and mouth and nose.
Heads and shoulders,
knees and toes, knees and toes.

Miss Polly had a Dolly
Miss Polly had a dolly, who was sick, sick, sick.
So she called for the doctor to be quick, quick, quick.
The doctor came with his bag and his hat,
And he knocked on the door, with a rat-a-tat-tat.

He looked at the dolly and he shook his head,
And he said, " Miss Polly put her straight to bed".
He wrote on a paper for a pill, pill, pill.
I'll be back in the morning with my bill, bill, bill.

Wind the Bobbin Up
Wind the bobbin up, wind the bobbin up.
Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap.
Wind the bobbin up, wind the bobbin up.
Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap.
Point to the ceiling, point to the floor.
Point the the window and point to the door.
Clap your hands together,
1 2 3
Put your hands upon your knees.

Wind it back again, wind it back again.
Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap.
Wind it back again, wind it back again.
Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap.
Point to the ceiling, point to the floor.
Point the the window and point to the door.
Clap your hands together,
1 2 3
Put your hands upon your knees

Hehe Im just like a little kid really!
 
Hush-a-bye, baby,


In the tree top.


When the wind blows,


The cradle will rock.


When the bough breaks,


The cradle will fall,


And down will come baby,


Cradle and all.
 
Jack and Jill fell and roll down the hill


Jack and Jilll
------------

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.

------------
Then up Jack got, and home did trot,
as fast as he could caper.
They put him to bed,
and plastered his head,
with vinegar and brown paper.

I love some of the aesop fables.. :)

The Lion and the Mouse

A LION was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his
face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill
him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you
would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your
kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go. It happened
shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters,
who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse,
recognizing his roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth
and set him free, exclaiming:

"You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you,
expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now
you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits
on a Lion."
 
The Shepherd's Boy and the Wolf


A SHEPHERD-BOY, who watched a flock of sheep near a village,
brought out the villagers three or four times by crying out,
"Wolf! Wolf!" and when his neighbors came to help him, laughed at
them for their pains. The Wolf, however, did truly come at last.
The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of
terror: "Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the
sheep"; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any
assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure
lacerated or destroyed the whole flock.


There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
 
Don't know if this qualifies, but lines from this--whatever the title is--keep running in my head:

Wednesday's child is fair and bright
Thursday's child is full of light
Friday's child is full of woe
Saturday's child has far to go.

Etc.
 
How much is that doggie in the window,
(Bark Bark)
The one with the waggely tail?
How much is that doggie in the window,
(Bark Bark)
I do hope that doggie's for sale!

I must take a trip to California,
And leave my poor sweetheart alone;
If he has a dog he won't be lonesome,
And the doggie will have a good home.

How much is that doggie in the window,
(Bark Bark)
The one with the waggely tail?
How much is that doggie in the window,
(Bark Bark)
I do hope that doggie's for sale!

I read in the papers there are robbers,
With flashlights that shine in the dark;
My love needs a doggie to protect him,
And scare them away with one bark!

How much is that doggie in the window,
(Bark Bark)
The one with the waggely tail?
How much is that doggie in the window,
(Bark Bark)
I do hope that doggie's for sale!
I don't want a bunny or a kitty;
I don't want a parrot that talks;
I don't want a bowl of little fishies;
He can't take a goldfish for walks.

How much is that doggie in the window,
(Bark Bark)
The one with the waggely tail?
How much is that doggie in the window,
(Bark Bark)
I do hope that doggie's for sale!
