The More It Snows/Today I saw a little worm

You can find poems in very unlikely places. Did you think that there were poems in Winnie The Pooh? I am sure there are many poems in “Winnie The Pooh”, but here is a quite well known.

THE MORE IT SNOWS

The more it
SNOWS-tiddely-pom
The more it
GOES-tiddely-pom

The more it
GOES-tiddely-pom
On Snowing

And nobody
KNOWS-tiddely-pom
How cold my
TOES-tiddely-pom
How cold my
TOES-tiddely-pom
Are
Growing

A.A Milne 1882-1956

Another personal favorite is short but sweet and completely not related to “Winnie The Pooh”.

TODAY I SAW A LITTLE WORM

Today I saw a little worm
Wriggling on his belly.
Perhaps he’d like to come inside
And see what’s on the Telly.

Spike Milligan 1918-2002

All of these poems are from  BRITAIN”S BEST LOVED Children’s Poems
