Remembrance Day -- Poems
I’ll wear a little poppy,
as red as red can be,
to show that I remember,
those who fought for me.
See the Poppies, see the Poppies,
Oh so red, oh so red,
Growing on the hillside, growing on the hillside
Soldiers lay dead, Soldiers lay dead,
We remember, we remember.
On this day, on this day.
Soldiers on the hillside, Soldiers on the hillside
Far away, far away
as red as red can be,
to show that I remember,
those who fought for me.
See the Poppies, see the Poppies,
Oh so red, oh so red,
Growing on the hillside, growing on the hillside
Soldiers lay dead, Soldiers lay dead,
We remember, we remember.
On this day, on this day.
Soldiers on the hillside, Soldiers on the hillside
Far away, far away

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate,
The first one said “Oh my it’s getting late”
The second one said, “There are witches in the air”
The third one said, “But we don’t care”
The fourth one said, “Lets run and run and run”
The fifth one said “Isn’t Halloween fun”
Ooo ooo went the wind and out went the lights
Five little pumpkins rolled out of site.
