            SILLY ME

Little   ____________   has a horse,
And the horse is brown.
Little   ____________   rides the horse
All around the town.


Wait a minute.
That’s not a horse.
That’s a frog.


Oh.  Right.
Silly me.

Little   ____________   has a frog,
And the frog is brown.
Little   ____________   rides the frog
All around the town.


Wait a minute.
That frog is not brown.
That frog is green.

Oh.  Right.
Silly me.

Little   ____________   has a frog,
And the frog is green.

Wait a minute.
You can’t ride a frog.                                                                                                            

Oh.  Right.
Silly me.

Little   ____________   has a frog,
And the frog is green,
And it is the prettiest frog
You have ever seen.

Wait a minute.
That’s not a frog.
That’s a mouse.


Oh.  Right.
Silly me.

Little   ____________   has a mouse,
And the mouse is green.
Wait a minute.


And the mouse is gray.
And it is the sweetest mouse
I have seen today.


Wait a minute.
That’s not a mouse.
That’s a car.


Oh.  Right.
Silly me.

Little   ____________   has a car
And drives it everywhere.


Wait a minute.
  ____________   doesn’t drive.
Oh.  Are you sure?

Little   ____________   has a car.
And the car is red.


Wait a minute.
That’s not a car.
That’s a bus.

Little   ____________   has a bus,
And what a big surprise:
____________’s there in every seat.
I can’t believe my eyes.


Wait a minute.
That’s not a bus.
That’s a helicopter.


Oh.  Right.
Silly me.

Blub blub Blub blub Blub blub Blub.
That’s a helicopter sound.
It has to make that noise, you see,
To stay above the ground.


Wait a minute.
That’s not a helicopter.
That’s a baby sister.


Oh.  Right.
Silly me.

Little   _________’s baby sister
Plays with all the toys.
She plays all day and sleeps all night,
And never makes a noise.


Wait a minute.
Well, what now?

Little   ____________   isn’t little.
Little   ____________   is big.


Oh.  Right.
Silly me.

So how big is big   ____________  ?
Big   ____________   is sooooo big.
When the hands are way up high,
Big   ____________   is sooooo big,
They can almost touch the sky.
