Nursery Rhymes

by Harshita Das aged 10

Sometimes I am Tommy Stout
Just pulling the cat out
And sometimes I am Aunt Polly
Putting the kettle on the stout
Sometimes I am Jack
Rolling down the hill
And sometimes I
Pretend to be little Jill
Sometimes I am Johnny
Saying yes or no
Sometimes I am one of the three kittens
And to the park I go
Sometimes I am twinkling in the sky
Being the little star
Leaving the people wondering
What we really are
Sometime I am one of the monkeys
Which are jumping on the bed
Sometimes I am Humpty
Falling off the wall, and bumping my head
Sometimes I am Santa Claus
Jingling my bell
Sometimes I am Miss Polly
Playing with my doll
Sometimes I am in the garden
With my little bouncing ball
Sometimes I am Johnny Thin
Putting the pussy, in the well
Sometimes I am Mary
With a lamb, following around
Sometimes I am teddy
Just touching the ground
Sometimes I am someone
Selling a hot cross bun
Sometimes I am one of three pigs
Just having some fun
Sometimes I am Johnny’s sister
Politely asking the rain to go away
Sometimes I am the rocking horse
Crying Neigh! Neigh!
Sometime I am Miss Muffet
Eating my porridge with my tea
But the very funny and strange thing is
I am never me!!!
