Sounds of Home – Wash

Tuesdays at 2pm
Welcome to the April 27th edition of Sounds of Home!

Bertie Bubble

Bertie was a bubble who went floating in the air,
A very brilliant bubble for his colors they were rare,
He floated past the window, and he nearly hit the wall,
He floated through the kitchen, and he floated down the hall.

He was drifting on so nicely, when a wind blew through the door,
It shook poor Bertie Bubble, and it bounced him on the floor.
Of all the great misfortunes, this surely was the worst,
There was trouble for our bubble, when old Bertie burst.

Song found in The Book of Children’s Songtales
compiled by John M. Feierabend


Word Ladder:

Rock
Rack
Wack
Walk
Wall
Wail
Wait
Wast
Wash

Hjalmar’s word ladder poem:

I found a little ROCK — it was there, lying on its back,
So I put it on display on my rock collector’s RACK.
But it didn’t match the rest, it was really out of WACK.

So I took it back outside, had another little WALK,
Down along the garden WALL, where I heard some children talk.
Then one began to WAIL and ran off down the block.

The other, quoting Shakespeare, shouted, “Saucy minion, WAIT!
Thou WAST who broke that little egg upon my little pate!”
Then off he rushed to WASH his hair and cleanse its eggy state.

    These were all very good! Dan didn’t recognize Heinrik at first. I like the word ladder that was new to me. The song was really cute too. I will miss Sounds of Home. But it will be good to see people in person! Thanks Molly for doing this!
