RHYTHM AND
RHYMES ESPECIALLY
FOR YOU
The Pot Calling the Kettle
Black
"Bubble!"
said the pot to the dancing
kettle (Who was
in fine
fettle) "You are
black as
soot!"
"Pouffe!"
said the kettle to the jiggety
pot (Who was
feeling
hot) "You are
black as a
beetle!"
"Bubble.
ubble, ubble," said the pot in
wrath With his
voice full of
broth "I will
get you into
trouble."
"Fiddle, diddle, diddle," said
the kettle in a rage (He was old for his
age) "You have soup down your
middle!"
"Fuss, fuss, fuss," gissed the
pot on the fire Boiling higher and
higher, "You're spitting like the
puss!"
"I'll make you behave," said the
kettle from above As he spat from the
stove "You're a rogue and a
knave!"
"Bother, bother, bother," said
the cook running in, "What a fuss, what a
din, "You're as black as each
other!"
