    Hi @Elsa

    I have one. It’s definitely a easy one...

         MARY’S LAMB.


    Mary had a little lamb,

       Its fleece was white as snow,

    And every where that Mary went

       The lamb was sure to go ;

    He followed her to school one day—

       That was against the rule,

    It made the children laugh and play,

       To see a lamb at school.


    And so the Teacher turned him out,

       But still he lingered near,

    And waited patiently about,

       Till Mary did appear ;

    And then he ran to her, and laid

       His head upon her arm,

    As if he said—‘ I’m not afraid—

       You’ll keep me from all harm.’


    ‘ What makes the lamb love Mary so ?’

       The eager children cry—

    ‘ O, Mary loves the lamb, you know,’

       The Teacher did reply ;—

    ‘ And you each gentle animal

       In confidence may bind,

    And make them follow at your call,

       If you are always kind.’


    Thanks for taking me back to my childhood too. 💕🤗

    Happy MotherGoose Day to all community members. I was reading through some of the posts and amazed at the slight differences in the rhymes.

    I was just as surprised @greddycandy. You'd think they would have one version and stayed with it.

    A really thought provoking topic!

    Here's my French memory:

    Chorus:

    Sur le Pont d'Avignon

    L'on y danse, l'on y danse

    Sur le Pont d'Avignon

    L'on y danse tous en rond

    1st verse:

    Les beaux messieurs font comme ça

    Et puis encore comme ça

    2nd verse:

    Les belles dames font comme ça

    Et puis encore comme ça

    3rd verse:

    Les filles font comme ça

    Et puis encore comme ça

    4th verse:

    Les musiciens font comme ça

    Et puis encore comme ça


    Secondly - "Alouette, Gentille Alouette" comes to my mind. Yet it is not the kindest.
