Cock-A-Doodle-Doo

by Leonard Leslie Brooke — a poem card from Justes Mots

A playful nursery rhyme featuring a rooster's crowing and the comic misadventures of a dame who loses her shoe and a master who loses his fiddling stick, ultimately resolving in dance and music. The repetitive, tongue-twisting structure delights children and evokes nostalgia in adults. Ideal for lighthearted celebrations.

Cock-A-Doodle-Doo.

My master's lost his fiddling-stick,
And don't know what to do.
