Counting Dragons

Dragon one and dragon two, they have wings that are shiny and new.

Dragon three and dragon four, get ready for a dragon roar!

Dragon five and dragon six, they are doing silly tricks.

Dragon seven and dragon eight, hurry up and don’t be late.

Dragon nine and dragon ten, all the dragons are in the den!

The Grand Old Duke of York

The Grand Old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men.
He marched them to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again.
And when they were UP, they were UP!
And when they were DOWN, they were DOWN!
And when they were only halfway up,
They were neither UP nor DOWN!

Dancing Dragons

Dragons are dancing! Dancing all around.

There are no happier dragons to be found!

The dragons dance left, the dragons dance right.

Flapping wings so hard, they might take flight!

They nod their heads.  Their tails they sway.

I think they could dance all day!

They stomp their feet.  They turn around.

And last of all, they sit right down!

Nursery Rhyme

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall!
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Where else did Humpty Dumpty sit?
