Find the pattern of the rhyme. Hickory,
Dickory, Dock
Hickory,

Two mice ran up the clock.
The clock struck one.

NesbittAfter School
Lie beneath a spreading
treeWith golden flowers in the sun.
Count to five on all the petals,Never think of five plus one.
Watch the building-crammed horizon,
Sky no longer meeting ground.
Watch the golden flowers
witherWatch the golden dreams fall down.
Today I Touched the
BuffalobsterToday I touched the
buffalobsterand the
goldfishark,
the
eagleopard,
ocelotter,
and the
weaselark.
I fed the
frogorillaand I felt the
reindeerat.
I prodded the
piguanaand I scratched the
alpacat.
I gazed at the
gazellephant.
I gawked at the
gooseal.
I caught the
cockroachimpanzeebraand the
bumblebeel.
I pet the
parroturtle,
and the
pelicangaroo.
It's freaky, but it's fun here
at the Mutant Petting Zoo.
