Time Rhymes From Mother Goose

HICKORY, DICKORY, DOCK

Hickory, dickory, dock,
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down,
Hickory, dickory, dock.

BELL HORSES

Bell horses, bell horses,
What time of day?
One oclock, two oclock,
Three and away.

A DILLER, A DOLLAR

A diller, a dollar,
A ten oclock scholar!
What makes you come so soon?
You used to come at ten oclock
But now you come at noon.

THE CLOCK

Tick, tock, tick, tock,
Merrily sings the clock;
Its time for work,
Its time for play,
So it sings throughout the day.
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
Merrily sings the clock.
