One little boy so precious and sweet <br />One little girl with cute little feet. <br />Two small babies are more precious than one <br />Two small boys can add to the fun. <br /> <br />Three little birds build a fine nest <br />Three little angels guard them best. <br />They keep them warm and content at night <br />And protect them �till the morning light. <br /> <br />Four little dogs so cute and friendly <br />Four little children treat them kindly. <br />Five small kittens like their milk <br />Five little spiders spin fine silk. <br /> <br />Six little ants work hard all day <br />six little ponies eat their hay. <br />Some are big, some are small <br />Some are short and some are tall. <br /> <br />Seven little raindrops fall to the ground <br />Seven little balls are red and round. <br />Eight small children play at the park <br />Eight small flowers some yellow; some dark. <br /> <br />Nine little seeds, I watch them grow <br />Nine little trees all in a row. <br />Ten big cookies made from ginger <br />Ten big children with ten fingers.<br /><br />Mimie Durand<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/counting-poem-for-the-very-young/
