Five Little Pigs

Five Little Pigs

Five little pigs rolled in the mud
Squish, squash, squish, it sure felt good.
The farmer took a pig out and cleaned him up nicely.

Four little pigs rolled in the mud.
Squish, squash, squish, it sure felt good.
The farmer took a pig out and cleaned him up nicely.

Three little pigs rolled in the mud.
Squish, squash, squish, it sure felt good.
The farmer took a pig out and cleaned him up nicely.

Two little pigs rolled in the mud.
Squish, squash, squish, it sure felt good.
The farmer took a pig out and cleaned him up nicely.

One little pig rolled in the mud.
Squish, squash, squish, it sure felt good.
The farmer took a pig out and cleaned him up nicely.

No little pigs rolled in the mud.
They all looked nice and clean.
The farmer turned his back and what do you know!
All those little pigs jumped back in the mud.

Five Little Kittens

Five little kittens playing on the floor,
     One smelled a mouse, then there were four.
Four little kittens fat as fat could be,
     One saw a puppy, then there were three.
Three little kittens watched how birdies flew,
     One ran far up the tree, then there were two.
Two little kittens snoozing in the sun,
     One chased a rabbit, then there was one.
One little kitten looking for some fun,
     He fluffed his tail and scampered off,
Now there isn’t even one.

Five Strong Police Officers

Five strong police officers standing by a store.
     One went to direct traffic, and then there were four.
Four strong police officers watching over me.
     One took home a lost boy, and then there were three.
Three strong police officers dressed all in blue.
     One stopped a speeding car, and then there were two.
Two strong police officers how fast they can run.
     One stopped a burglar and then there was one.
One strong police officer heard some children say.
     We would like to be police officers when we grow up some day.

Three Little Penguins

Three little penguins,
    dressed in white and black.
Waddle, waddle forward
    and waddle right back!
Three little penguins,
    in a funny pose,
They are wearing
    their evening clothes.
Their suits are black
    and their vests are white.
They waddle to the left
    and they waddle to the right.
They stand on the ice
    and they look very neat,
As they waddle along
    on their little flat feet.

Over in the Meadow

Over in the Meadow

Over in the meadow,
     In the sand in the sun,
Lived an old mother toadie,
     And her little toadie one,
“Wink!” said the mother;
     “I wink!” said the one,
So they winked and they blinked,
     In the sand in the sun.

Over in the meadow,
     Where the stream runs blue,
Lived an old mother fish,
     And her little fishes two,
“Swim!” said the mother;
     “We swim!” said the two,
So they swam and they leaped,
     Where the stream runs blue.

Over in the meadow,
     In a hole in a tree,
Lived an old mother bluebird,
     And her little birdies three,
“Sing!” said the mother;
     “We sing!” said the three,
So they sang and were glad,
     In a hole in the tree.

Over in the meadow,
     In the reeds on the shore,
Lived an old mother muskrat,
     And her little ratties four,
“Dive!” said the mother;
     “We dive!” said the four,
So they dived and they burrowed,
     In the reeds on the shore.

Over in the meadow,
     In a snug beehive,
Lived a mother honey bee,
     And her little bees five,
“Buzz!” said the mother;
     “We buzz!” said the five,
So they buzzed and they hummed,
     In the snug beehive.

Over in the meadow,
     In a nest built of sticks,
Lived a black mother crow,
     And her little crows six,
“Caw!” said the mother;
     “We caw!” said the six,
So they cawed and they called,
     In their nest built of sticks.

Over in the meadow,
     Where the grass is so even,
Lived a gay mother cricket,
     And her little crickets seven.
“Chirp!” said the mother;
     “We chirp!” said the seven,
So they chirped cheery notes,
     In the grass soft and even.

Over in the meadow,
     By the old mossy gate,
Lived a brown mother lizard,
     And her little lizards eight,
“Bask!” said the mother;
     “We bask!” said the eight,
So they basked in the sun,
     On the old mossy gate.

Over in the meadow,
     Where the quiet pools shine,
Lived a green mother frog,
     And her little froggies nine,
“Croak!” said the mother;
     “We croak!” said the nine,
So they croaked and they splashed,
     Where the quiet pools shine.

Over in the meadow,
     In a sly little den,
Lived a gray mother spider,
     And her little spiders ten,
“Spin!” said the mother;
     “We spin!” said the ten,
So they spun lacy webs,
     In their sly little den.

by Olive A. Wadsworth (1870)

“Over in the Meadow” is a counting poem that can be used to help people gain familiarity with the names, spoken sounds, and concept of numbers, by linking them in the mind’s eye to the memorable word pictures in the ten stanzas of eight lines each that make up the poem.

Olive A. Wadsworth is a pseudonym of Katherine Floyd ‘Kitty’ Dana, who was born on 21 January 1835 in Mastic, New York, United States of America. She was married to William Buck ‘Buck’ Dana. She became a writer, a poet, and an artist. Katherine Floyd ‘Kitty’ Dana passed on at 51 years of age on 6 April 1886.

Ten Little Ducklings

Ten little ducklings,
     Dash, dash, dash!
Jumped in the duck pond,
     Splash, splash, splash!
When the mother called them,
      “Quack, quack, quack!”
Ten little ducklings,
     Swam right back.

Five Little Pumpkins

Five little pumpkins were sitting on a gate,
The first one said, “Oh my, it’s getting late!”
The second one said, “There are witches in the air!”
The third one said, “But we don’t care!”
The fourth one said, “Let’s run and run and run!”
The fifth one said, “I’m ready for some fun!”
“Woo-oo-oo,” went the wind, and out went the light,
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.

Ten Fluffy Chickens

Five eggs and five eggs,
That makes ten.
Sitting on top is the mother hen,
Cluck, cluck, cluck!

Crack, crack, crack -
What do I see:
Ten fluffy chickens,
As happy as can be!

Five Little Mice

Five little mice on the pantry floor
     Looking for breadcrumbs or something more
Five little mice on the shelf up high
     Eating so nicely on a pie
But the big round eyes of the wise old cat
     See what the five little mice are at
Quickly he jumps, but the mice run away
     And hide in their snug little hole all day

Five Little Ghosts

Five little ghosts dressed all in white
     Were scaring each other on Halloween night.
“Boo!” said the first one, “I’ll catch you!”
     “Boo!” said the second, “I don’t care if you do!”
The third ghost said, “You can’t run away from me!”
     And the fourth one said, “I’ll scare everyone I see!”
Then the fifth one said, “It’s time to disappear!”
     “See you at Halloween time next year!”

Six Little Ducks

Six little ducks that I once knew
     Tall ones, short ones, fat ones, skinny ones, too.
But the one little duck with the feathers on his back
     He led them all with his quack, quack, quack!

Down to the river they would go
     Wibble wobble, wibble wobble, to and fro,
But the one little duck with the feathers on his back
     He led the others with his quack, quack quack!

Into the water he would dive
     Followed fast by the other five
And the one little duck with the feathers on his back
     He led them all with his quack quack, quack!

Five Batty Bats

Five batty bats
Were hanging ’neath the moon.

“Quiet!” said the first.
“The witch is coming soon.”

“She’s green,” said the second,
“With a purple pointy nose.”

“Black boots,” said the third,
“Cover up her pointy toes.”

“Her broom,” said the fourth,
“Can scratch you - that I know!”

“I’m scared,” said the fifth,
“I think we’d better go.”

Five batty bats
Escaped into the night.

“Dear me,” said the witch
“That’s a scary sight!”
