朗材 Poem A

“Ice”

Dorothy Aldis

When it is the winter

I run up the street

And I make the ice laugh

With my little feet —

‘Crickle, crackle, crickle

Crreet, crrreeet, crrreeet.’

朗材 Poem B

“Don’t cry, Caterpillar”

Grace Nichols

Don’t cry, Caterpillar

Caterpillar, don’t cry

You’ll be a butterfly — by and by.

Caterpillar, please

Don’t worry ‘bout a thing

‘But,’ said Caterpillar

‘Will I still know myself — in wings?’

朗材 Poem C

“The Pancake”

Christina Rossetti

Mix a pancake,

Stir a pancake,

Pop it in the pan.

Fry the pancake,

Toss the pancake,

Catch it if you can.

朗材 Poem A

“Ladybird! Ladybird!”

Emily Brontë

Ladybird! Ladybird! Fly away home,

Night is approaching, and sunset is come:

The herons are flown to their trees by the Hall;

Felt, but unseen, the damp dewdrops fall.

This is the close of a still summer day;

Ladybird! Ladybird! haste! fly away!

朗材 Poem B

“Summer Days”

Anne English

I’m looking for a hot spot.

A what spot?

A hot spot.


To hit a ball and run.

Oh, I’m looking for a hot spot.

A what spot?

A hot spot.


Now summer has begun.

朗材 Poem C

“Rickety Train Ride”

Tony Mitton

I’m taking the train to Ricketywick.

Clickety clickety clack.

I’m sat in my seat.

With a sandwich to eat.

As I travel the trickety track.

It’s an ever so rickety trickety train,

and I honestly thinkety think

that before it arrives

at the end of the line

it will tip up my drippety drink.

朗材 Poem A

“There Are Big Waves”

Eleanor Farjeon

There are big waves and little waves,

Green waves and blue,

Waves you can jump over,

Waves you dive thro’,

Waves that rise up

Like a great swell softly

And don’t break at all,

Waves that can whisper,

Waves that can roar,

And tiny waves that run at you

Running on the shore.

朗材 Poem B

“Run A Little”

James Reeves

Run a little this way,

Run a little that!

Fine new feathers

For a fine new hat.

A fine new hat

For a lady fair –

Run around and turn about

And jump in the air,

Run a little this way,

Run a little that

White silk ribbon

For a black silk cat.

A black silk cat

For the Lord Mayor’s wife –

Run around and turn about

And fly for your life.

朗材 Poem C

“I’m an apple”

Clive Riche

I’m a red apple.

Eat me.

Chew me and chomp me,

Sweetly.

Pick me and peel me,

But by me, don’t steal me,

For I’m a red apple,

Eat me.

I’m a gold apple.

Leave me.

Don’t pick me, and please don’t be

Greedy.

You’ve eaten too much,

So don’t snatch and don’t touch.

Let me stay in the sunlight,

Leave me.

I’m a green apple,

Bake me. Into hot pies and sweet puddings

Make me.

Cut me and core me,

But please don’t ignore me,

For I’m a green apple,

Bake me.

朗材 Poem A

“Daddy Fell Into The Pond”

Alfred Noyes

Everyone grumbled. The sky was grey.

We had nothing to do and nothing to say.

We were nearing the end of a dismal day.

And there seemed to be nothing beyond.

Then Daddy fell into the pond.

Then the gardener suddenly slapped his knee

And doubled up, shaking silently,

And the ducks all quacked as if they were draft,

And it sounded as if he old drake laughed.

And everyone’s face grew merry and bright,

And Timothy danced for sheer delight.

“Give me the camera, quick, oh quick!

He’s crawling out of he duckweed!” Click!

Oh, there wasn’t a thing that didn’t respond

When Daddy fell into the pond.

朗材 Poem B

“Salt, Mustard, Vinegar, Pepper”

Traditional English

Salt, mustard, vinegar, pepper,

French almond rock,

Bread and butter for your supper,

That’s all mother’s got.

Fish and chips and Coca-Cola,

Put them in a pan,

Irish stew and ice-cream soda,

We’ll eat all we can.


Pig’s head and trout,

Bread and butter for your supper

OUT spells out.


French almond rock,

Bread and butter for your supper

That’s all mother’s got.

Eggs and bacon, salted herring,

Put them in a pot,

Pickled onions, apple puddings,

We will eat the lot.
