10. How Many
How many seconds in a minute?
Sixty and no more in it.
How many minutes in an hour?
Sixty for sun and flower.
How many hours in a day?
Twenty-four for work and play.
How many months in a year?
Twelve the calendar makes clear.
11. I can see…
One, two, three, I can see a bee.
Four, five, six, I can see an ox.
Seven, eight, nine, I can see a lion.
Ten, eleven, twelve, I can see a wolf.
12. Don’t be late for class again
One, two, three, four,
Come in please and close the door.
Five, six, seven, eight,
It’s time for class, but you’re late.
Nine, ten, nine, ten,
Don’t be late for class again.
14. The rabbit
Rabbit, rabbit,
Long, long ears,
Red, red eyes,
And white, white skin.
Hopping all the day to my home,
Waiting for the carrots as favourite food.
15. The months
Thirty days have September,
April, June and November.
All the rest have thirty-one,
Excepting February alone,
Which has twenty-eight days clear
And twenty-nine in each leap-year
