P is for...

The letter "p" is one of the best letters of the alphabet for wonderful words!  Think of all the things you can EAT!!  Pizza, peaches, pears, pie, pickles, pumpkin pie, popcorn, pretzel, peanut, pancakes, potatoes, plum, Popsicles!  Think of all the ANIMALS!!  Porcupine, panda, pig, penguin, polar bear, parrot,  panther!  Fun things! Picnic, parachute, pets, pirates, parade, pull, push, painting, piano, pinwheel, puppet, puzzles, play, presents, play-dough, princess!  Whew!  Makes me want to find my pajamas and pillow!

5 Little Piggies
Five little piggies rolling in the mud,
Oh, my goodness!  They need a scrub!
The farmer took one piggy out.
"Oink, oink, oink", the pig did shout!

Continue down through 1

No little piggies rolling in the mud
They look so clean after their scrub
The farmer turned his back and then...
Those piggies rolled in the mud again!


 Same pig flipped over

One Little Penguin
(sung to: Five Little Ducks)

One little penguin in the snow
Waddles fast and waddles slow
Flaps his wings and calls, "Come on!
Join me for some winter fun!"

Two little penguins in the snow
Waddle fast and waddle slow
Flap their wings and call, "Come on!
Join us for some winter fun!"

Three little penguins in the snow
Waddle fast and waddle slow
Flap their wings and call, "Come on!
Join us for some winter fun!"

Four little penguins in the snow
Waddle fast and waddle slow
Flap their wings and call, "Come on!
Join us for some winter fun!"

Five little penguins in the snow
Waddle fast and waddle slow
Flap their wings and call, "Come on!
Join us for some winter fun!"

Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater
Peter, Peter pumpkin eater,
Had a wife, but couldn't keep her.
He put her in a pumpkin shell,
And there he kept her very well.
