sat by her oven,
To see when her
muffins were done.
She left for a minute,
her brother got in it,
And Lilly McMuffin
got none.

How to Rhyme

 

Identify the rhyming words in each Mother Goose rhyme:

Jack Sprat
Jack Sprat (1) could eat no fat (1),
His wife could eat no lean (2);
And so, betwixt them both,
They licked the platter clean (2).

Then create an Other Goose rhyme:

Ginny McVat

Ginny McVat (1) was a little too fat (1).
She tried and she tried to slim down (2).
But all of her efforts failed it seems
She couldn’t get into her gown (2).
