Alien Lullabies

We listened to the traditional lullaby "Hush Little Baby, don´t you cry" and identified the rhyming couplets. In groups, we wrote our own "Alien Lullabies" and tried our hand at rhyme. At the end of the lesson, Teacher read our poems and then we heard Sue Cowling´s "Alien Lullaby"

Hush, little alien, don't you cry!

Mamma's gonna bake you a moonbeam pie.

And if that moonbeam pie goes stale,

Mamma's gonna catch you a comet's tail.

And if that comet's tail won't flip,

Mamma's gonna make you a rocket ship.

And if that rocket ship won't stay...
