Letter P Poem

PETER PIPER

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers;
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

P is for Puppy

Walter’s Puppy

There was a little boy,
And he had a piece of bread,
And he put his little cap
On his head, head, head.

Upon his hobby horse
Then he went to take a ride,
With his pretty Spaniel Puppy
By his side, side, side.

Little Walter was his name,
And he said to little Flash,
“Let us gallop round the house,
With a dash, dash, dash.”

So he laid down his bread
In a snug little place,
And away Walter went
For a race, race, race.

But Flash had a plan,
In his little roguish head,
Of taking to himself
Walter’s bread, bread, bread.

So he watched for a moment
When Walter did not look,
And the nice piece of bread
Slyly took, took, took.

When Walter saw the rogue,
He cried, “O, naughty Flash;”

But Flash looked so good-natured,
With his tail curled up behind,
That his aunty said to Walter,
“Never mind, mind, mind.”

“Flash is nothing but a puppy;
So, Walter, do not worry;
If he knew that he’d done wrong,
He’d be sorry, sorry, sorry;”

“And don’t be angry, Walter,
That Flash has had a treat;
Here’s another piece of bread
You may eat, eat, eat.”

So Walter ate his bread,
And then to Flash he cried,
“Come, you saucy little dog,
Let us ride, ride, ride.”

P is for Pat-a-Cake

PAT-A-CAKE

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake,
Baker’s man!
So I do, master,
As fast as I can.

Pat it, and prick it,
And mark it with T,
Put it in the oven
For Tommy and me.

P is for Piggie

This little pig went to market;
This little pig stayed at home;
This little pig had roast beef;
This little pig had none;
This little pig said, “Wee, wee!
all the way home.”
