Mother Goose Day
Emily Ivey of Yarn Miracle
"Old Mother Goose
When she wanted to wander
Would fly through the air
On a very fine gander."
Mother Goose Day was founded in 1987 by Gloria T. Delamar. It was originally to promote the publication of her book, Mother Goose; From Nursery to Literature, but now appears on many calendars as an excellent reason to celebrate in rhyme!

"The cock doth crow
To let you know,
If you be wise,
Tis time to rise."
"As I went to Bonner,

Three young ducks with white straw flats,
Three young dogs with curling tails,
Three young cats with demi-veils,
Went out to walk with two young pigs
In satin vests and sorrel wigs,
But suddenly it chanced to rain
And so they all went home again."
"Go to bed, Tom.
Go to bed, Tom!
Tired or not, Tom,
Go to bed, Tom."
