Rhyme
Tiptoe Cookie Chant
Acorn path—tap, tap, see;
One empty plate waited neatly.
Austin said, “I’ll carry this.”
Callen said, “I’ll add one biscuit.”
Little bridge—one part each;
Austin held the plate in reach.
Callen placed one cookie there;
Both saw one small job they shared.
Painted gate—what shall we choose?
Say “We helped,” or rest our shoes—
Or whisper silly, “Cookie-beat!”
Then let our helping hands rest neat.
Helper-hand beats in make-believe play
Sent tiny taps through the day.
One part each—then see it done;
Two small parts can make one.
