Remember the little lamb Mary had
And the beanstalk Jack agilely climbed
Most of us are sheepishly glad
They were all nursery rhymed
How about that mouse who ran up the clock
Why he did that nobody knows
Perhaps he was looking for Goldilocks
Or the ring around the rose
The lost sheep of Little Bo Peep
We wonder if they ever were found
These childhood memories are ingrained so deep
To them we are lovingly bound
History shows us, they’ll not be out-dated
These nursery rhymes, so lovingly clever
Kids in the future will surely be slated
To have these rhymes read to them forever and ever

Loved reading this poem, So delicately fine, Reminded me of childhood, When all was Love and Rhyme. My dear mother, introduced me to most Nursery Rhymes, which I made her read me over and over again. Was my first introduction to poetry. Fell in love with it then and this love has lasted a lifetime. Thank you for your wonderful poem, thoroughly enjoyed, brought back so many memories.....
