Reese's favourite rhymes, poems and jingles

Whenever he feels like it, he will recite the following with great speed and accuracy.... he just loves them!

I see the moon,
and the moon sees me,
God bless the moon,
and God bless me. (His current favourite)

Yankee Doodle went to town
Riding on a pony,
Stuck a feather in his hat
And called it Macaroni.

Engine, engine number nine,
Running on Chicago line,
If she's polished, how she'll shine, (At times he doesn't recite this line)
Engine, engine number nine.

Star bright, star light,
First star I've seen tonight.
Wish I may, wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight. (Reese will usually recite up to the second line)

There were two blackbirds
Sitting on a hill,
The one named "Jack"
And the other named "Jill"
Fly away, Jack,
Fly away Jill,
Come again, Jack,
Come again, Jill.

Here is the church, here is the steeple,
Open the door and see all the people.
Here are the singers going upstairs,
And here is the minister saying his prayers. (Reese can't recite the last line yet)

Here is the bee-hive,
Where are the bees?
Hiding away where nobody sees.
They are coming out now,
They are all alive.
One! Two! Three! Four! Five! (Reese loves to play this finger game and all the tickling that comes with it!)

He is attempting to recite a tongue twister... Peter Piper pick a pack of pickled pepper..... :)
