CHILDREN'S RHYME

I'M A LITTLE TEAPOT, SHORT AND STOUT
HERE IS MY HANDLE, HERE IS MY SPOUT
WHEN I GET ALL STEAMED UP HEAR ME SHOUT
TIP ME OVER AND POUR ME OUT MM
ON THE FIRST HALF OF THE SECOND LINE, PLACE ONE HAND ON YOUR HIP AND
ON THE SECOND HALF, EXTEND YOUR OTHER ARM WITH THE ELBOW BENT TO FORM
A SPOUT. ON THE LAST LINE BEND SIDEWAYS AS IF POURING TEA OUT OF THE
SPOUT.

Submitter comment: I REMEMBER LEARNING THIS IN KINDERGARTEN IN ENDWELL, NEW YORK BUT IT
WAS ALSO WELL KNOWN IN SOLON, OHIO. MY ROOMMATE JULIE SCHMOKE AND
OTHER STUDENTS FROM MICHIGAN ARE FAMILIAR WITH IT.
