about

lots of these old nursery rhymes are still with us after, like, centuries! They can still be fun, even if we don't know what the heck a stile is. (It's a ladder/platform thingie that helps one over a hedgerow, by the way.) Rhymes help us more readily understand the meanings of sentences (because we can anticipate the coming rhyming word). Children eventually pick up the sound-alikeness of some words and preschoolers discover that they can substitute other rhyming words. Rhyming is a simple game with a easy-to-grasp (for a preschooler) rule.

lyrics

There was a crooked man
Who walked a crooked mile.
He found a crooked sixpence
Upon a crooked stile.
He had a crooked cat
That chased a crooked mouse,
And they all live together
In a little crooked house.
