Be kind to your web-footed friends,
For a duck may be somebody's mother. Be kind to your friends in the swamp Where the weather is always damp. You may think that this is the end. Well, it is! |

The last one brings back memories, community singing to to tune of "The Star-spangled Banner," while riding a DUKW across Normandy.

Understood Harold
The world is a rainbow That's filled with many colors: Yellow, black, and white, and brown, You see them all around. The world is a rainbow With many kinds of people; It takes all kinds of people To make the world go round. Now you be you And I'll be me. That's the way we were meant to be. But the world is a mixing cup. Just look what happens when you stir it up! The world is a rainbow With many kinds of people; And when we work together It's such a sight to see. The world is beautiful when we live in harmony!  Now you be you And I'll be me. That's the way we were meant to be. But the world is a mixing cup. Just look what happens when you stir it up!  |

If you wake at Midnight, and hear a horse's feet,
----------------------------------------Don't go drawing back the blind, or looking in the street, Them that asks no questions isn't told no lie. So watch the wall, my darling, while the Gentlemen go by! Five and twenty ponies trotting through the dark - Brandy for the Parson, 'baccy for the Clerk; Laces for a lady, letters for a spy, And watch the wall, my darling, while the Gentlemen go by! ~Rudyard Kipling Flanagan: I'm giving a speech tomorrow and I don't know what to say. Allen: Why not try a bit of Kipling? Flanagan: Kippling? I wouldn't know how to kipple. Allan: No - it's Rudyard Kipling! Flanagan: I bet it's too ruddy 'ard for me!

El patio de mi casa es muy particular,
Cuando llueve se moja como los demás, Agáchate y vuelvete a agachar, Que las agachaditas no saben bailar. Hache, I , jota, ka, ele, elle, eme, A que si tu no me quieres, otro amante me querrá. The patio of my house is very special, When it rains it gets wet like all the rest, Bend over, bend down, Dance if you can. H I J K L M If you don’t love me, another one will. |

" Where are you going, my pretty maid?"
"I'm going a-milking, sir," she said. "May I go with you, my pretty maid?" "You're kindly welcome, sir," she said. "What is your father, my pretty maid?" "My father's a farmer, sir," she said. "Say, will you marry me, my pretty maid?" "Yes, if you please, kind sir," she said. "What is your fortune, my pretty maid?" "My face is my fortune, sir," she said. "Then I can't marry you, my pretty maid!" "Nobody asked you, sir," she said. |

Sleep my baby, at my breast;
‘Tis a mother’s arms round you. Make yourself a snug, warm nest. Feel my love forever new. Harm will not meet you in sleep, Hurt will always pass you by. Child beloved, always you’ll keep, In sleep gentle, mother’s breast nigh. 2 Sleep in peace tonight, sleep, O sleep gently, what a sight. A smile I see in slumber deep, What visions make your face bright? Are the angels above smiling, At you in your peaceful rest? Are you beaming back while in Peaceful slumber on mother’s breast? 3 Do not fear the sound, it’s a breeze Brushing leaves against the door. Do not dread the murmurring seas, Lonely waves washing the shore. Sleep child mine, there’s nothing here, While in slumber at my breast, Angels smiling, have no fear, Holy angels guard your rest. |

Jack tried to be nimble.
----------------------------------------He tried to be quick. He shot hoops with young guys And ruptured a disc.  |

When the leaves are on the ground, Instead of on the trees, I like to make a great big pile of them Way up to my knees. I like to run and jump in them And kick them all around. I like the prickly feel of them And the crickly, crackly sound. |
