Poems for Kids

“Baa, baa, black sheep, Have you any wool?

Yes, sir, yes, sir, Three bags full;

One for the master, And one for the dame,

And one for the little boy who lives down the lane”

This poem has various versions. I have listed the modern version here. It has the same tone as the “alphabet song”. The main reason for it being a very popular nursery rhyme is that it is relatively easy for little kids to master because of its trochaic metre in which a stressed syllable is followed by the unstressed one. Yeah, your sharp mind was not the only factor that helped you learn it in such a short time.
