Elephant Jaboo and Suzy Shrew.

 

Elephant Jaboo and little Suzy Shrew were the best of friends and it was the fervent wish of both of them that their companionship would never end.

Watching little Suzy climb up Jaboo's elongated snout to sit upon his head Oswald Owl had his doubts and winced to see young Suzy scamper inbetween great Jaboo's feet which, although they were quite graceful (for a full grown elephant) and always well manicured and neat, were, nevertheless, each six times wee Suzy's size and oft times did wise Oswald sigh and shake his round-eyed head to see the friends play 'Tag' or 'Chase' or 'Last man across the river today is dead!'

 

So perturbed was Oswald infact he commissioned the master-gnome of Zhish to have his workers construct a whistle whereby Suzy might make known her movements - an elegant thing of jade and sun-dried liana with such a beautiful sound that even monkeys grew still in contemplation of its tone, quite forgetting to jabber and murmur.

But alas, some forms of beauty quite excell their duty and Sydney Snake nursed a passionate

desire to possess that whistle til it expunged all sense from his brain and one day, he just couldn't help himself, he devoured Suzy Shrew, whistle and all then lay in a coma (he had a Diploma) for almost a week, digesting his excessive zeal and thinking how best to disguise

all evidence of his nefarious meal.

 

But it was no good - as soon as he spoke the whistle exploded and blew through the vile serpent's throat. Jaboo at once woke from his own grief and mope and guessing then at poor Suzy's fate he stamped on the snake til Sydney resembled a glittering, wafer-thin plate.

Jaboo never forgot his little friend Suzy and killed every snake that he saw.

As for Oswald, though the result of his well-intentioned intervention struck in his craw he kept the full nature of his involvement to himself, pretending the whistle was the Gnome King's idea (even owls are less than perfect). 

In future he would keep his bright ideas to himself, he vowed.

 

And he kept his word. If ever you visit him in his tree cast your eye surreptitiously upwardgnome king

- there they are, kept in a jar, upon a high and padlocked shelf whose intricate key

(fashioned by the Gnome King, no less) is buried in a secret place so elusive that often even wise Oswald himself quite forgets where it is, so that sometimes, when he has a bright idea he has to carry it around for days and days before he can imprison it.

 

Once a year Elephant Jaboo bakes a special cake to celebrate and remember little Suzy and even Oswald permits himself to eat a slice for Jaboo is an excellent cook and in such things even the wisest and most repentant of owls cannot always be choosy.


From the mind and pen of the wonderful Willowdown




"A Pound of tea at one and three,
And a pot of raspberry jam,
Two new laid eggs, a dozen pegs,
And a pound of rashers of ham."

I'll say it over all the way,
And then I'm sure not to forget,
For if I chance to bring things wrong,
My mother gets in such a pet.

"A pound of tea at one and three,
And a pot of raspberry jam,
Two new laid eggs, a dozen pegs,
And a pound of rashers of ham."

There in the hay the children play -
They're having such jolly fun;
I'll go there, too, that's what I'll do,
As soon as my errands are done.

"A pound of tea at one and three,
A pot of - er - new laid jam!
Two raspberry eggs, with a dozen pegs,
And a pound of rashers of ham."

Now here's the shop, outside I'll stop,
And run through my orders again;
I haven't forgot - no, ne'er a jot -
It shows I'm pretty cute, that's plain.

"A pound of three at one and tea,
A dozen of raspberry ham
A pot of eggs, with a dozen pegs,
And a rasher of new laid jam."

Excellent, I wonder how many of us did that when we were little?....

Of Little Mice and Big Boys

Here are what the mice and boys do by the Elephant Tree

The Elephant Tree

Have you ever heard of the Elephant Tree?
'Tis a marvel of great renown.
It grows in the woods - where the pixies play -
Near the edge of an Unknown Town.

The hippos sit on toadstools there,
And the frogs can sing and dance,
And if you let them they'll play with you
Whenever they get the chance.

So, the next time you're out just walking around
and you're looking for something to see -
go down to the woods where the pixies play
and visit the Elephant Tree.

İm.garren 1973
 Little Tommy Tucker

Little Tom Tucker,
Sang for his supper,
What did he sing for?
Why, brown bread and butter,
How can he cut it without a knife?
How shall he marry without a wife?

Tom Tom the Pipers son
  Tom, Tom the Piper's son,
Stole a pig, and away he run.
The pig was eat, and Tom was beat
And Tom went howling down the street.


But I wonder if any of you know this other rhyme about Tom, the one who learned to play the pipe just like his father used to do.

Young Tom he was a Piper's son,they couldnt stop dancing
He learned to play when he was young.
But the only tune that he could play,
Was "Over the Hills and Far away."

Over the hills and far away,
Over the hills at the break of day

Over the hills and a long way off,
The wind will blow your top knot off."

Tom he was a Piper's SonNow Tom with his pipe, played with such a skill,
That those who heard him, could ne'er keep still.
They tapped their toes and began to dance,
Even the children with bare feet did prance.

Over the hills and far away.....etc


Diddily and the cow danced and dancedAs Diddily was milking of her cow one day,
Young Tom took his pipe and began to play;
They danced and danced to "The Cheshire Round,"
And the pail with the milk was spilt on the ground.

Over the hills and far away,.....etc.



He met Dame Trot with a bag of eggs.
DameTrot going to market with her eggs.
He played his pipe, she used her legs.
She jigged up and down, 'til the eggs all broke,
Naughty young Tom thought it all a joke.

Over the hills and far away,
Over the hills till the break of day.
Over the hills and a long way off,
The wind will blow your top knot off.


Tom he was a Piper's Son
But over the hills young Tom did go,
Playing his pipe, he just couldn't let go.

He played from morn 'til the break of day,
"Over the Hills and far away."

Over the hills and far away,.....etc



Diddily Dee Dot's version of a very old Nursery Rhyme.  2008


Since it creation in 1988, Little Tommy has been
loved as a steady seller character for its fine and warm image not only in Korea but all over the world through over 100 kinds of goods and multimedia.

www.koreacontent.org/
co/b/barunson/index.html

As the whole ten episodes are based on the changing four seasons, Little Tommy animation gives the educational idea on the seasonal variations. Each episode contains ideas that appeal to the curiosity of children. Tommy affects children educationally, with ideas such as friendship and cooperation, by solving problems with the help of friends and playing together in each episodes.

I wanted to include this advert for this little bear, because it is such a lovely little Bear, made for our Korean brothers and sisters and now watched throughout the world.

Little Tommy Tittlemouse,

Lived in a little house,

He caught fishes

In other men's ditches

Miss Molly's Dolly

Miss Molly had a dolly
Who was sick, sick, sick!
 So she called for the doctor
 To be quick, quick, quick.

Molly's DollyDoctorThe doctor came
With his bag and hat,
And he knocked on the door
With a rat-a-tat-tat.


He looked at the dolly
Doctor
  And he shook his head,
And he said, "Miss Molly,
Molly's Dolly Put her straight to bed!"

He wrote on a paper 
For a pill, pill, pill;
"I'll be back in the morning
 With my bill, bill, bill."

SHADOWS

When mother has kissed me amd tucked me in bed,
and switched off the nursery light
I have my wee lamp that stands by my side
and watches me through the night.
Then I put out my hands, and across on the wall
are the pictures my fingers can make;
I watch all the funniest shadow of things,
for as long as my eyes keep awake.
bow
O shadows that dance on my nursery wall,
Where do you come from and where do you go?
All through the night when I'm snuggly asleep

are you still flickering there, to and fro?
Grey shadows that dance in my room every night,
where do you go all the time it is light?
bow
When I hold my hands close to the lamp
the shadows fill up the whole wall;
But drawing them back, far away from the light,
makes the pictures go little and small.
I can make a dog barking, a cat and a cow,
A rabbit a cock and a cup . . .
And the next thing I know, all the shadows have gone,

Cos it's day by the time I wake up.
bow
O shadows that dance on my nursery wall,
where do you come from, and where do you go?
All through the night when I'm soundly asleep,
Are you still flickering there, to and fro?
Grey shadows that play in my room every night,
Where do you live all the time it is light.
bow
DMS.

 If I had Three Wishes

If I had three wishes then they would be,
A wish for you and a wish for me.
The other would be for this earth so wide,
To live in peace, let love abide.
In every corner that there may be,
A world that's full of harmony.

The wish for you would be small but strong,
To teach you what is right from wrong.
The wish for me is to give great joy,
to every little girl and boy.
Who love to read and hear the tales
 Of  Witches, Trolls and Dragon's Tails.

  Amy, Annie, Jason and John.
funny crab
in the sandAmy, Annie, Jason and John
Went to the seaside to see cousin Tom.

Amy took biscuits her mother had made,

Annie took lemonade she kept in the shade.

Jason remembered the towels and cream,
John found a crab and made the girls scream.
bucket and spadeshells
They sailed in a dingy and swam in the sea,
Caught many fishes, well, tiddlers three


Amy felt tired and slept neath the dunes,

Jason and Annie sang so many tunes.
 
                         Tom and John collected some shells,
                          they bought an icecream at the sound of the bells.
sunset
            But the day soon had ended and it was time to leave Tom,
             Tired and sandy they went back to the prom.

Packed were their bathers, their bucket and spade,
The smell of saltwater had started to fade.

In the Charabanc they went home, driven by Don,
 Did sleepy Annie and Amy and Jason and John.

 Hello ~  Goodnight


 
The Months of the Year

 January brings the snow, feed the birds and watch them glow.

Rain and SludgeFebruary rain and sludge, wellie boots and caramel fudge.

March brings winds that make us quiver,
pull on our coats but still we shiver.

April flowers come into bloom, primrose, violet, bluebells, broom

May bring bugs, and may flower white, cool soft breezes to fly a kitePurple Kite on the Wind

June comes wearing a golden crown,  silken shoes and chiffon gown

July we swim, and castle build, summer holidays promises filled.

August is awkward sometimes it shines but often the rain comes and we're knocked to the nines.

September and school for the little and big, for learning and playing and dancing a jig

Autumn Leaves fall to the groundOctober the leaves turn to red, orange, brown and autumn looks lovely in her golden gown

November is grey, the sun sleeps so early and the animals hibernate furry and curly

December winds chill both your hands and your face, you get wrapped up in thick cotton not lace,

You stack up the wood pile and build up the coal and wait for old santa to come from the pole
