"As I was going to St. Ives..."
by Mother Goose
As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives;
Every wife had seven sacks,
Every sack had seven cats,
Every cat had seven kits;
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were there going to St. Ives?

(One.)


"Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn..."
by Mother Goose
Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn.
The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn.
Where is the boy that looks after the sheep?
"He's under the haycock, fast asleep."
Will you wake him? "No, not I;
For if I do, he'll be sure to cry."

I have so many Mother Goose favorites that I remember reciting as a kid. I loved Humpty Dumpty, Jack and Jill, Little Bo Peep, "Mistress Mary, quite Contrary, and the list goes on.

What's your favorite?




Happy Tuesday!
