16. Jingle bells

Dashing through the snow

In a one horse open sleigh,

O’er the fields we go,

Laughing all the way.

Bells on bob-tails ring,

Making spirits bright.

What fun it is to ride

And sing a sleighing song to-night.

Jingle bells! Jingle bells!

Jingle all the way!

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh!

17. Tommy Trot, a man of law,

Sold his bed and lay upon straw;

Sold the straw and slept on grass,

To buy his wife a looking-glass.

Were walking out one Sunday.

Says Tommy Snooks to Bessy Brooks,

“Tomorrow will be Monday!”

19. Pease porridge hot, Some like it hot,

Pease porridge cold, Some like it cold,

Pease porridge in the pot Some like it in the pot

Nine days old. Nine days old.

Beggars would ride;

If turnips were watches

I would wear one by my side.

What a great tree that would be!

22. I’d rather it were spring again

To think of time, to think of rain.

The winter sun, of course is bright

But spring sun makes me kind and light.

23. If you should happen after dark

To find yourself in Central Park,

Ignore the paths that beckon you

And hurry, hurry to the zoo,

And creep into the tiger’s lair.

Frankly, you’ll be safer there.

24. Kitty meets Minny. “Very,” says Minny.

“Minny,” says Kitty. “I like white and blue.”

“Look at my pinny. “Thank you,” says Kitty.

Isn’t it pretty?” “And I like it too”.

25. Man is a fool.

When it’s hot, he wants it cool.

When it’s cool, he wants it hot.

He always wants what he has not.

26. When the weather is wet, When the weather is warm,

We must not fret. We must not storm.

When the weather is cold, But be thankful together

We must not scold. Whatever the weather.
