Poems we learned in school

My teacher in fourth class (age 8 approx) tended not to do the poems in our Reader. Some of the ones I remember doing are...

( Heraclitus )

Two little boys had two little toys, each had a wooden horse (long, so do click the link for the full text).

The little toy dog is covered with dust,
but sturdy and staunch he stands. (again, long).

... that same teacher also had a thing for martyrs. And people who had stigmata.

Delight

Linnea asked to sit on my lap, and we had a cuddle.

She's gone now, but I'm still reeling with delight.

Quick! Phone Daddy!

Emer phoned Rob today to tell him that she had yellow pants on.

We haven't had any puddles to clean up yet, either.
