Lock and Key Poem



Rebecca, at Rebecca Writes, has made the theme for February children's poetry. Here is my favorite children's poem, and with this poem, it is crucial to read it aloud with someone, and alternate reading each line:


LOCK AND KEY

"I am a gold lock."

"I am a gold key."

"I am a silver lock."

"I am a silver key."

"I am a brass lock."

"I am a brass key."

"I am a lead lock."

"I am a lead key."

"I am a don lock."

"I am a don key."

I hope you enjoy this poem as much as my youngest daughter and I did. She and I share a love for poetry. I tried to center it, but it didn't work. I decided the poem was worth posting, whether it was in the center or not.

This poem is from The Real Mother Goose book.
