Find Bobby and Betty. --Adapted from an old rime THE MILKMAN AND HIS HORSE The milkman has a wise horse. The horse knows where to stop. He knows when to stand still. He knows when to go on. He doesn't try to run away. The horse helps the milkman. The milkman takes bottles of milk from his wagon. Sometimes he takes out quart bottles. Sometimes he takes out pint bottles. He leaves milk at the back door. He takes empty bottles away. He puts the empty bottles in the milk wagon. At the end of the week he knocks at the door. Then Mother pays him for the milk. How many quarts of milk does the milkman leave at your door every day? How many quarts of milk does the milkman leave at your door every week? How much do you have to pay the milkman each week? Name the days of the week. Count them. How many pints make one quart? Milkman, milkman, where have you been? In Buttermilk Channel up to my chin. I spilt my milk, and spoilt my clothes, And got a long icicle hung to my nose. THE ICEMAN Mother keeps milk in the ice box. She likes to keep it cool and sweet. The iceman passes every day with a big ice wagon. When Mother wants ice, Betty puts up a card. When the iceman sees it, he cries, "Whoa! whoa!" The big horses stop. The iceman jumps down from his wagon. He brings in a big block of ice. He puts it in the ice box, and Mother gives him a ticket. The iceman goes back to his wagon. He jumps in and drives away. Once Bobby and Betty ran after the ice wagon. Mother saw them and called them back. "Don't run after the ice wagon," said Mother. "Play you have an ice wagon, Bobby. Hitch Queen to your cart." I was some ice, So white and so nice, But which nobody tasted; And so it was wasted, All that good ice! --EDWARD LEAR THE ICE MAN Composed by Children The ice wagon rattles down the street, Thumpity, bumpity, bump! It always comes in the summer's heat, Thumpity, bumpity, bump! The ice picks clank and make such a noise, Clinkity, clankity, clank! Down the street run the girls and the boys, Clinkity, clankity, clank! Here is a card for seventy-five pounds, Whoa there, Jerry and Joe! Chippety chop, how the ice pick sounds, Whoa there, Jerry and Joe! Now he comes in at the kitchen door, Trampity, trampity, tramp! Dripping water all over the floor, Trampity, trampity, tramp! Then he goes in his wagon yellow, Gee up, Jerry and Joe! The iceman is a jolly fellow, Gee up, Jerry and Joe! Snow, snow faster, Come again at Easter. MAKING APPLE PIES Did you ever make a pie?
