Childrens Poems

Childrens Poems. Children's poems collection includes all the poems suitable for children, the type of poetry you learned as a child that have stayed with you all your life.

The Hole In The Ark

One evening at dusk as Noah stood on his Ark,
Putting green oil in starboard side lamp,
His wife came along and said, 'Noah, summat's wrong,
Our cabin is getting quite damp ...
That's why dog has a cold nose, and ladies cold elbows,
You'll also find if you enquire,
That's why a man takes his coat tails in hand,
And stands with his back to the fire.

What Happened To Jonah

In the chosen land of Palestine, three thousand years ago
Lived a certain Jonah Somebody, whose surname we don¹t know
Who earned an honest living, in that far off foreign part
By the exercise of prophecy, that very ancient art

One day he got instructions to proceed without delay
And tell the wicked Ninevites, 'There¹d come a time some day.'

My Shadow

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.

The Lamb by William Blake

The Lamb by William Blake

Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?
Gave thee life, and bid thee feed
By the stream and o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing, woolly, bright;

Whatif

Last night, while I lay thinking here,
Some Whatifs crawled inside my ear
And pranced and partied all night long
And sang their same old Whatif song:
Whatif I'm dumb in school?
Whatif they've closed the swimming pool?
Whatif I get beat up?

The ABC

'Twas midnight in the schoolroom
And every desk was shut
When suddenly from the alphabet
Was heard a loud "Tut-Tut!"

Said A to B, "I don't like C;
His manners are a lack.
For all I ever see of C
Is a semi-circular back!"

On the Ning Nang Nong

On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the Cows go Bong!
And the Monkeys all say Boo!
Theres a Nang Nong Ning
Where the trees go Ping!
And the tea pots Jibber Jabber Joo
Spike Milligan

Old Mother Hubbard

Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the Cupboard
To give the poor Dog a bone
When she came there
The Cupboard was bare
And so the poor Dog had none.

Exploring A New World

How can you tell, that by biting a worm
The taste and sensation, will make you squirm?

How can you tell you’ll get burned, if it’s your desire,
To stick your hand into a fire ?

How can you tell, when you throw your food on the floor,
That your mum will shout at you, once more ?

Happiness

It puts a smile upon my face
When I think of a little child;
Or see a cuddly animal,
Or a family, reconciled.

When my grandchildren sit upon my lap,
And pretend they’re riding horses;
When TV news, shows coverage
Of our brave, returning forces.
