Who went for a ride with a tiger They returned from the ride With the lady inside... And a smile on the face of the tiger! This is a silly little poem for kids I knew on heart. I would like if some of you could teach me (and my baby...) other little rimes in English for children (better if they are jokes or silly stuff!)

Itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout Down came the rain and washed the spider out Out came the sun and dried up all the rain The itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again. The toe rhime. You take the big toe and while working to the little toes you say This little toe went to marked (big toe) This little toe stayed home (second toe) This little toe had roast beef ( middle toe) This little stayed home ( forth toe) And this little toe went wee wee wee all the way home. and then you tickle the person. (The little toe) I know more but I cannot remember any now

Little Miss Muffet Sat on a tuffet Eating her curds and whey. Along came a spider and sat down beside her and scared Miss Muffet away!

After watching sales falling off for three straight months at Kentucky Fried Chicken, the Colonel calls up the Pope and asks for a favor. The Pope says, ''What can I do?'' The Colonel says, ''I need you to change the daily prayer from, 'Give us this day our daily bread' to 'Give us this day our daily chicken'. If you do it, I'll donate 10 Million Dollars to the Vatican.'' The Pope replies, ''I am sorry. That is the Lord's prayer and I can not change the words.'' So the Colonel hangs up. After another month of dismal sales, the Colonel panics, and calls again. ''Listen your Excellency. I really need your help. I'll give you $50 million dollars if you change the words of the daily prayer from 'Give us this day our daily bread' to 'Give us this day our daily chicken.''' And the Pope responds, ''It is very tempting, Colonel Sanders. The church could do a lot of good with that much money. It would help us support many charities. But, again, I must decline. It is the Lord's prayer, and I can't change the words.'' So the Colonel gives up again. After two more months of terrible sales the Colonel gets desperate. ''This is my final offer, your Excellency. If you change the words of the daily prayer from, 'Give us this day our daily bread' to 'Give us this day our daily chicken' I will donate $100 million to the Vatican.'' The Pope replies, ''Let me get back to you.'' So the next day, the Pope calls together all of his bishops and he says, ''I have some good news and I have some bad news. The good news is that KFC is going to donate $100 million to the Vatican.'' The bishops rejoice at the news. Then one asks about the bad news. The Pope replies, ''The bad news is that we lost the Wonder Bread account.''
