Modern Nursery Rhymes

When I read nursery rhymes to my boys, I wonder why they all seem to have been written 200 years ago. They're just little rhymes about current events and daily life; there's no reason we can't supplement the classics with our own creations.

With that in mind, here are a couple of "modern" nursery rhymes I've written.

Hailing

Oh dear, it's hailing, hailing, hailing
Oh dear, it's hailing
Better stay inside.

Oh dear, it's hailing, hailing, hailing
Oh dear, it's hailing
Everybody hide

You can't go in to work
You can't go in to school
You can't go out into the street
Unless you are a fool

The Smart Little Wolf

The smart little wolf
Will hide in a shrub
And wait to pounce
'Til he sees his grub.

The smart little wolf
Will bury his bones.
He hunts in a pack
But he eats alone.

The smart little wolf
Wears mittens on his paws
When he goes outside
Before it thaws.
