The rain fell against the house on 445 Walnut Street. "We can't play outside, it's just too wet," sighed Savannah.  "It's too wet and gray for Kelley, Angie and Teri to come over."  A rhyme came to mind.  This gave Savannah an idea for a new game.

Rain, rain go away, come again some other day.  For Savannah, Kelley, Angie and Teri, it's just too wet to play today.

"This is fun!" Savannah said.  She quickly tried another rhyme.

Hey diddle, diddle!  Savannah played the fiddle, Teri jumped over the moon. Kelley laughed to see such a sport, and Angie ran away with the spoon.

"That was pretty good, Savannah said. "Here's another one..."

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man.  Bake Savannah a cake and a gingerbread man.  Put it in the oven, so fluffy and light, then serve it to Savannah and Kelley tonight.

Savannah laughed out loud when she thought of this one...

Savannah saw an old woman who lived in a shoe.  She had so many children she didn't know what to do.  She gave Savannah some broth and some cinnamon bread, and kissed her and hugged her and put her to bed.

Pages 9 & 10 - illustration pages.

Savannah wondered what she could do with "Jack be nimble."  Savannah be nimble, Savannah be quick, Savannah jumped over the candlestick. Savannah jumped so high she touched the sky...and didn't get back 'til the Fourth of July.

Savannah remembered she had heard this one in school one day...

Little Bo Peep had lost her sheep and doesn't know where to find them. "Leave them alone," Savannah said on the phone, "And I'll travel close behind them."

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.  Jack fell down and broke his crown, and Jill came tumbling after.  Up jack got and off did trot, careful not to stray.  But there sat Jill so sad and still, so then Savannah said, "Let's play!"

What are little boys made of?  Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails.  That's what little boys are made of.

Savannah really giggled when she thought of this one.

Thirty days have September, April, June and November, All the rest have thirty-one, excepting February alone, Savannah sees twenty-eight days there, and Savannah sees twenty-nine each leap year.

"This is getting too easy," said Savannah. "I'll try a harder one."

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet eating her curds and whey.  Before a big spider could sit down beside her, Savannah stood bold with a big stick to hold, and frightened the spider away.

It only took a moment for Savannah to come up with a new rhyme.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.  Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.  All the king's horses and all the king's men, couldn't put Humpty together again. Then along came Savannah with her tape and her glue and put back the pieces as good as new.

Hickory, dickory dock, the mouse ran up the clock.  The clock struck one, the mouse ran down, and followed Savannah into town. 
Hickory, dickory dock.

Savannah had trouble with the next rhyme.  "Try adding your name to this one, " Savannah said.

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.  A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.  If Peter Piper picked a peck of picked peppers, where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

Oh well.... Savannah doesn't like to eat pickled peppers anyway.

Pages 29 & 30 - illustration pages.

Savannah thought of this clever rhyme for "Three men in a tub."

Rub-a-dub, Rub-a-dub, three men in a tub.  Who do you think they could be?  The barber, the baker, the candlestick maker, all floating in the sea. Angie couldn't believe all the fish they caught, until Savannah  
pulled out three.

Twinkle, twinkle little star, how Savannah wonders where you are.  Up above Savannah's world so high, like a diamond in the sky.  Your bright and shining little spark, makes Savannah happy as a lark.  Glowing brightly near and far, Twinkle, twinkle little star.
