Nursery rhymes are not for nothing. In fact, English has dominated our schools because of the range of poems for children. - so inducing
While this topic requires some analyses, please note the tragedy of our children learning: ‘Baa, baa, black sheep’ – considering there are no black sheep in the world; yet I hear kids chorusing with gusto. Who cares whatever the nonexistent sheep sells, as long as we can raise a din. Perhaps instead of throwing such powerful melodies we should adapt it to: Baa, baa white sheep, have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full. Moo, moo, brown cow, have you any milk? Yes sir, yes sir, two jars full Pithy. Then I thought of one with choo, choo steam engine, locomotive. Late & outdated. Long time ago, I sent a similar message to an Indian the gist being: Instead of wooing and getting wooed with your God gifted talent can you please, please write some poems for our children? AT least 1 poem. After all, generosity begins at home. More melodies serenades in the Poems forums. I received Silence. Now, as I develop this booklet for kids, these not-so-little things, hit hard. So much encouragement from Tom, Crystal and recently Bonnie. Takes the booklet to a new level. Apart from the poets, also to the 3-letter-word geniuses (truly admirable) - I appeal openly.

I was always considered the 'black " sheep of the family ... thanks for letting me know where that originated from .... feels good knowing that's not even true . But then again , it's probably better than being the 'rebel' of the family ....wait?? Could that be the same difference ha ha !!!!

But then again , it's probably better than being the 'rebel' of the family ....wait?? Could that be the same difference ha ha !!!! Now that I think - there's definitely some history here. Well, back to appeal: Dear poets, please invent a rhyme or two On moo, moo cows, that give one jar of milk Else we will speak with a bark and a ‘bow’ For the English Language is hard without lilt Utter nonsense, I know. We need a genius who can do something with 4 worded sentences. |

Aatheera is incredibly talented with her creative writing and poetry. Perhaps she could explore and publish such poems.
Poetrywriter probably has a few comical pieces in his back pocket, too. |

Nursery rhymes stitches nonsense in a way it makes sense. Think over this. Hey, diddle, diddle, The cat and the fiddle, The cow jumped over the moon; The little dog laughed. To see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon. Imagine at 6 years 
This kind of genius, 'moo & moon' so natural; and while the dog was laughing his dish ran away with the spoon Is what makes crows like me, fall of trees, |

Hi Art,
Seems you intended the milk industry fill_did_ _wid_hormones_ _ah_money_trick_ _ah_body_trap_ And the marketing logic towards the end. Just a question: Have you visited S.E. Asia? (Not Japan) You know, Buddhism, not exactly vegetarianism still a pacifism that seems to come from chemical free diet. Poor people, no education, no ambition, live in huts where it leaks - still happy. Serve you tea and you will like it. winter here, is your summer. |

Had to read it slow.

We Indians are bilinguals!!
And it's all through school - extra, extraordinary phenomenon that our scientists have not investigated. Another passing thought... Sounds and tones in which words are crooned to a baby, these tonal sounds are the first objects a baby recognizes. It is baby music, something he responds to emotionally even before he develops his vision. Apparently, sounds and tones are the bottom most layer in the Temporal Lobe and this maybe Nature’s artful way to provide us with precise control over the vocal cords. Hiya Blondey, are you there? |
