FOUR GAMES : RHYME 31

LEAPFROG

Leap, leap, leap like a frog
But leap not into a pond;
Leap, leap, leap over my back,
My stoop beyond. 

HOPSCOTCH 

Hop, hop, hop like s Scotch,

But hop not on the grass;

Hop, hop, hop on the court,

Across the rectangles.

CAT N MOUSE CHASE

Chase, chase, chase like a cat,

But chase not your uncle;

Chase, chase, chase the mouse

Caught in the circle. 

TUG OF WAR

Tug, tug, tug like a warrior,

But tug not a goat;

Tug, tug, tug your rival

By rope to your court.
