Here's a beautiful poem "Five in a Bed" which is being featured in April's StoryBox!

:):):):):)
There were five in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out

:):):):)
There were four in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out

:):):)
There were three in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out

:):)
There were two in a bed
And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out

🙂
There was one in a bed
And the little one said
"I'm lonely!"

Thanks Linda, Very true I have fond memories of poems from when I was a young. But only when I had my children did I begin to be reacquainted with these poems and build new memories...thats when I really start loving them!

Classic Poem - South Africa

Hi Linda, this may interest you, our new poem in Mays Story box!

Everybody has a song,
in the right or in the wrong key,
like the hee-haw of a donkey,
twitter,tweet, tu-whit, tu-whoo,
howl or growl or quack or moo.
Everyone has a song
and must sing it all life ling.
Don't be silent
nor afraid,
you must sing
as you've been made.

What do you think?

I love this.This is really fab. It reminded me of something i recently viewed on utube. It is crickets and there song has been slowed down using some sort of formula along the lines of, if they were human they wuld speak at a certain speed. Have a listen to it there is certainly a link with your poems philosophy.
love and light

Awww! I knew this too as a song when I was little... the version I remember, though, has the "little one" at the end saying "Good night!" - and falling asleep comfortably, now having the whole bed to him/herself. As the "little one" in my own family, I always found it amusing! 😀
