童谣 清单诗 五行诗 俳句诗 唐诗
Hush, little baby, don’t say a word,
Papa’s going to buy you a mockingbird.
If that mockingbird won’t sing,
Papa’s going to buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring turns to brass,
Papa’s going to buy you a looking glass.
If that looking-glass gets broke,
Papa’s going to buy you a billy-goat
If that billy-goat runs away,
Papa is going to buy you another today.

I saw a fish-pond all on fire
I saw a fish-pond all on fire,
I saw a house bow to a squire,
I saw a person twelve-feet high,
I saw a cottage in the sky,
I saw a balloon made of lead,
I saw a coffin drop down dead,
I saw two sparrows run a race,
I saw two horses making lace,
I saw a girl just like a cat,
I saw a kitten wear a hat,
I saw a man who saw these too,
And said though strange they all were true.
Our first football match
We would have won…
if Jack had just scored that goal,
if we’d had just a few more minutes,
if we had trained harder,
if Ben had passed the ball to Joe,
if we’d had thousands of fans screaming,
if I hadn’t taken my eye off the ball,
if we hadn’t stayed up so late the night before,
if we hadn’t taken it easy,
if we hadn’t run out of energy,
We would have won…
if we’ve been better!

Lowering my head I dream that I’m at home.

Everywhere round me the singing of birds,

And I wonder how many blossoms were broken.
