New Friend
A new friend, a true friend
A cheer-me-when-I'm-blue friend
A sunny-day-hurray friend
A come-over-and-play friend
A nice-in-every-way friend
A new friend, a true friend
A turn-the-gray-skies-blue friend
A talk-talk-non-stop friend
A giggle-till-we-drop friend
A none-can-ever-drop friend
A new friend, a true friend
A happy-I-met-you friend!
-Marie Fleming
Apples
How many apples do you see?
Can you count them?
1, 2, 3.
How many green ones?
How many red?
Now eat an apple and go to bed!
AUTUMN WINDS
Autumn winds begin to blow.
Colored leaves fall fast and slow.
Whirling, twirling all around,
Till at last they touch the ground.
Pumpkin, Pumpkin
Pumpkin, pumpkin
Big and round.
Pumpkin, pumpkin
On the ground.
With my finger
I will trace,
A smile upon
Your orange face.
Halloween Poems and Songs
Bat Poem
A bat can hang upside down
It holds on with its toes
When it wants to find some food
It spreads its wings and goes
A bat might live inside a cave
And fly around at night
And when it's dark a bat knows how
To get around all right
October
The little ghosts and goblins
Trick or treat about.
Out comes the moon,
And shines on the lane.
Ring goes the doorbell.
It's Halloween again.
Hello Halloween!
Hello witches, hello ghosts,
Hello pumpkins on the posts.
Hello goblins and black cats,
Hello skeletons, hello bats!
Hello owls and hello moon!
Halloween is coming soon!
Bats Are Sleeping
(Tune: Frere Jacques)
The bat is sleeping,
The bat is sleeping,
Upside down,
Upside down.
Sleeping in the morning.
Waiting for the night to come.
To fly around.
To fly around.
On A Dark, Dark Night
On a dark, dark, night
In a dark, dark wood
In a dark, dark house
In a dark, dark room
In a dark, dark cupboard
On a dark, dark shelf
In a dark, dark box
There was a GHOST!
The Hooky Spooky
(to the Hokey Pokey)
You put your head in, you put your head out
You put your head in and you shake it all about
You do the hooky spooky and you give a little shout
That's what it's all about- BOO!
Our Neighborhood Squirrel
(to the tune of "The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze")
He flies through the air
With the greatest of ease.
Our neighborhood squirrel
Leaping through the trees.
His thick, bushy tail
Helps him balance and steer.
From treetop to treetop,
He flies without fear.
Veteran’s Day
Oh veterans, oh veterans,
We honor you today.
Oh veterans, oh veterans,
We honor you today.
We give you thanks for all you've done,
For standing guard o'er our nation.
Oh veterans, oh veterans,
We honor you today.
