The National Poetry Writing Month challenge was to write a rhyme with the sing-songy sound of a children's playground chant.
Round and round the playground in a conga line
How d'you do, Teacher? We're doing just fine!
Round and round the playground and back the other way
How d'you do, Teacher? We're doing okay!
Bicker backer soda cracker, bicker backer boo,
If you dropped that Cracker Jack box, shame on you.
Bicker backer soda cracker, bicker backer bye,
Whoever dropped that milk carton was not I.
Round and round the playground, pick up all the litter,
If it's fat, then stomp it flat, flatter than a flitter.
Round and round the playground, make the playground neat.
Don't you wish that we could tidy up the whole long street?
