Poetry - I love it and attribute that to my parents and school teachers! Some of the most charming are Mother Goose stories.
Butterfly, Butterfly whence do you come?
I know not, I ask not, I never had home.
Butterfly, butterfly, where do you go?
Where the sun shines, and where the buds grow.
~Mother Goose~
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.
~Mother Goose~
Mother Goose is a character that originated in children's fiction as the imaginary author of a collection of French fairy tales, and English nursery. She is a staple of American childhood, and verses represent the sheer joy of young children playing with sound, language, rhythm and rhyme. My parents were as entertaining as Mother Goose as they put all their expressions in these irresistible readings.
I cannot imagine life as a child without dear Mother Goose poems. They will remain timeless ,and a source of joy and encouragement that I will forever treasure.
A book is like a garden
carried in a pocket.
