32 JUST ME

Two Iittle ears to hear mother call,

Ten pink fingers standing up tall;

One Iittle nose that I can blow,

Ten little toes all in a row.

Two little thumbs to wiggle up

and down, Two little feet to stamp the ground;

Hands to clap, eyes to see,

What fun it is to be just me.

Hop a little, jump a little,

one, two, three;

Run a Iittle, ski p a little,

tap, tap one knee;

Bend a Iittle, stretch a little,

nod you r head;

Yawn a Iittle, sleep a little

in your bed.

There was an old woman, Who lived in a shoe;

She had so many children, She didn't know what to do.

She gave them some broth, Without any bread;

Then whipped them soundly, And put them to bed.

If she had just two, She could make them a stew;

And send them to school,

In pretty jackets of blue.
