Rhyme
Doodle Raindrop Chant
Mud-pie table—tap, tap, say;
“What should our pretend drop say?”
Brandon whispered, “Plip-plip-ploo.”
Aleea listened all the way through.
Ribbon fence—soft words return;
“Plip-plip-ploo,” Aleea said.
“That was Brandon’s quiet sound.”
Both let one small echo round.
Sunny hollow bend—what shall we choose?
Say “I heard you,” or rest our shoes—
Or whisper silly, “Raindrop-roo!”
Then make one gentle sound anew.
Doodle raindrops in make-believe play
Sent tiny plips through the sunny day.
Soft words count; listen and repeat;
Quiet ideas make play complete.
