Poetry Picnic Week 21 Children's Stories, Riddles, Counting Songs, and Rhyming Lyrics for Young Kids!!!

Puzzled

By

Sheila Moore

My mind is riddled with puzzles,

each piece jumbled within thousands
of piles; staring at one another;

thinking, “Do I go with you?

Where are the pieces that match
up with my borders, my lines,
my cuts and grooves?”

I want to be whole again not

fragmented shapes in which
I cannot identify in isolation.

Why does it take so long

to put together a 10,000 piece
jigsaw puzzle?

A Small Dog Is To A Large Zucchini

By

Manicddaily 

A small dog is to a large zucchini
what a bungalow is to a road (six lane),
what a tadpole is to a Peach Bellini
made from a magnum of Champagne,
what a thimble is to a Fred Fellini
and miso soup was to Charlemagne–
the nexus, to some, seems very teeny,
to others, perhaps, it’s simple, plain.
All I know is that my large zucchini
and my small dog just aren’t the same.

Dog Helps Elephant

By 

Zongrik

Poor baby elephant
taken from mama;
gotta get away
from the circus drama.
Elephants need
a social surrounding,
not where crowds
are loudly resounding.
Baby is scared
to be away so long.
The circus crowd
is a great big throng.
So puppy comes ‘round.
He can find the way,
to get baby back
to baby’s herd far away.
They wander together,
over land and sea,
to get to the spot
where they’ll find mommy.
The trunk holds the tail,
which therefore can’t wag.
But the Doggie moves on.
Neither friend can lag.
They finally come upon,
a low rumbling sound.
It the herd’s way of talking,
so they can be found.
Then baby looks high.
And baby looks low
‘til finally mama’s face
begins to glow.
They are reunited,
thanks to canine friend,
who stays with the herd
for days on end.

 Coconut Music

By

(Tale Spinning) 

 

Monkey jump up on the beach

Telling a story with his banana

The jungle safari men kept a beat

Coconut music happen

 

Oh, jump up high

Oh, jump up low

Jump on a coconut

Go Go Go!

Oh, Jump to the left

Oh, Jump to the right

Jump on a coconut

Isn’t it nice?

 

Now Monkey he said

“I bring a banana to bed

but in the morning it be gone.”
He say “that banana split,

It lost it’s appeal;

I jump on the coconut

It always be real.”

 

The Safari men say “That not so!

Not a story that we’d like to know.

The Beach is the music

The Jungle is the tune

The Banana is the beginning

The Coconut come to an end..”

 

Oh, jump up high

Oh, jump up low

Jump on a coconut

Go Go Go!

Oh, Jump to the left

Oh, Jump to the right

Jump on a coconut

Isn’t it nice?

 

The Monkey and the Safari men sit right down

Down by the Jungle Beach, Down on the ground,

They eat the Banana and the Coconut too

The story is in the music

And it tastes good too!

 

Oh, jump up high

Oh, jump up low

Jump on a coconut

Go Go Go!

Oh, Jump to the left

Oh, Jump to the right

Jump on a coconut

Isn’t it nice?

 

 

IF

By

Scape

(A small tale about an elephant and a mouse)

Did you ever wish you were as big as me...?

Nope

Did you ever wish you could be a circus star like me...?

Nope

Did you ever wish people would go ‘oooh, aaaah’  when they see  you,  instead of ‘eeeek’...?

Nope

Do you ever wish for anything…?

Yup

Swiss cheese, cheddar cheese, any kind of cheese

And can I have your peanuts?
