Silly Poems for Kids

Why is this page called Silly Poems for Kids? I've asked a silly question of myself because the answer is as obvious as the most manifest thing ever said by Queen Glaringly Obvious of Palpableland. But, for the record, this page is about daft verses for children










What do you called a reindeer without antlers
That's a horse
What do you call a sheep with no legs
A cloud, of course
What do you call a bald teddy
Fred Bear
Where does a huge angry gorilla sit
Anywhere

Let's eat Granddad
Said Johnny, picking up his knife

Let's eat, Granddad
Why thank you comma, you've just saved an old man's life

What object is king of the classroom
The ruler, it seems
What holds the sun up in the sky
Oh, that's sunbeams
How does the barber cut the moon's hair
E-clipse the stuff
What did you learn in school today
As you're going again tomorrow, the answer's 'Not enough!'

Beware of heard, a dreadful word
That looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead: it's said like bed, not bead;
For goodness' sake, don't call it deed!
Watch out for meat and great and threat.
(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt.)
A moth is not a moth in mother,
Nor both in bother, broth in brother.

The pronunciation and spelling of many a word
Is often very silly, and quite absurd
Someone should have brought this to a halt
It's clearly Noah Webster 's fault
