Gammies in Jammies (a collection of children's bedtime rhymes)

Post by Ladellon »

Critter

Critter, oh Critter, you miserable cat.
Why do you persist at gnawing at
My shoes,
My spear,
My leggings,
My rear?

Go, shoo, go find other cats.
Gather your friends and go chase nasty rats.
Don’t look so tired
It’s why you were hired.
Please do be inspired
To go and perform as you’re required!

Oh, please go away!
I mean, gee, I love cats.



Ghost Boat

The boat I’d sailed on long ago
On far away, forgotten coasts
Was lighted by the haunting glow
Of twenty-seven lively ghosts
Who told grim tales of doom and dread
Which made me laugh for they were dead.



Little Halfling

I met a little halfling, once,
Down where the lilies blow.
I asked him why he was so small
And why he did not grow.

He slightly frowned and, with his eye,
He looked me through and through.
“I’m quite as big for me,” he said,
“as you are big for you.”



Giants

Giants are a nasty bunch,
Always looking for some lunch.
Long legs, big shoes.
Run from them and you will lose.



Rats

Rats, rats and rats again!
They must be very lonely.
If rats were coin, we’d all be rich.
Too bad they’re vermin only.



Shut the Door

Shut the door and lock it tight
And throw away the key.
Run away and hide from sight.
They’ll never suspect me.



Halflings

Halflings are the nicest folk
That anyone could own.
I like them even better than
Some elves that I have known.

They’ve hairy feet and balding seats.
They’re small when young or grown
And they fit inside your pocket
When you are all alone.



Five Hungry Goblins

Five hungry goblins
By the light of the moon,
Stirring dwarven stew with
A wooden stirring spoon.
The first one says,
“It mustn’t be runny.”
The second one says,
“That would make it taste funny.”
The third one says,
“It mustn’t be lumpy.”
The fourth one says,
“That would make me grumpy.”
The fifth one smiles,
Hums a little tune,
And licks all the drippings
From the wooden stirring spoon.



Skeleton

Bony, bony, bony bones
With nothing in between.
A skeleton is the strangest
Person I have ever seen.



Dragon v. Halfling

Way down south where the River Ith flows
A halfling stepped on a red dragon’s toes.
The dragon said, with tears in its eyes,
“Pick on somebody your own size.”



Being Lazy

In Flamerule when the days are hot
I like to find a shady spot
And hardly move a single bit
And sit and sit and sit and sit.



Wings

Bees have four wings,
Birds have two.
I haven’t any
And that’s too few.



Ghoul

Don’t shake hands with him, you fool,
For he’s no human, he’s a ghoul!



The Tooter

A tutor who tooted the flute
Tried to teach two young tooters to toot.
Said the two to the tutor,
“Is it harder to toot or
To tutor two tooters to toot?”



Red Dragon

I’ve never seen a red dragon.
I’m hoping not to meet one.
I’m also hoping, if I do,
That it will be a wee one.



Little Cave Toad

Hey little cave toad, sah.
It seems you haven’t any ma.
Well, I’ve a sack here for your home
So you will never have to roam.
What’s that glint of steel, you say?
Fine! Go ahead, hop away!



Berries

Pick the berries swiftly.
Throw them in your pot.
Eat them just as quickly and
You’ll surely get the trots.
