Jenny Learns To Count
“I’ll teach you to count to ten”-
Granny said with a smile to Jen.
Do hope you have quick wits -
Here are five apples and five sweets.
So, Jen, repeat after me…
Oh, sorry, I have to make tea.
I will now go to the kitchen,
Then I’ll continue the teaching.
When Granny Mabel came back
She was rather taken aback.
The apples only on the table...
“What does it mean?” asked granny Mabel.
And to her Jenny said with a smile:
“It just means I want to count to five.”
