The little house in the woods
Was yellow, green and brown
It boasted only four framed windows
But each went easily up and down.
-2-
The little house in the woods
Had a teeny tiny kitchen
Only two people could fit in it
If they were chin to chin!

The little house in the woods
Was built under an oak
So many acorns always fell
The squirrels all made it a joke.

The little house in the woods
Needed two coats of paint
Every time the owner noticed
She said she felt quite faint.

The little house in the woods
Stood far from the prairie
There was, however, a river nearby
In which flowed water to carry.

The little house in the woods
Had such a tiny bathroom
That whenever a person had to go
They'd first have to take out the broom.

The little house in the woods
Looked pretty in the moonlight
Many creatures would gather to exclaim:
"Too bad such a house has no name!

The little house in the woods
Was home to several boys
One game after the other they played
And made a joyful noise.

The little house in the woods
Was surrounded by red roses
When one of the boys trampled one
The owner would yell "Holy Moses!

The little house in the woods
Braved strong winds and rain
First it lost a roof tile,
Then a window pane.

A lark looked in the window
Of the little house in the woods
The boys were jumping on the bed
Some had brown hair, some had red.
-12-
The little house in the woods'
Front door was painted blue
The same blue as that in the sky
But please don't ask me why!
-13-
A gecko clung to the porch post
Of the little house in the woods
Its green little body had 4 wee feet
And after much climbing, the feet were beat.

Red roses climb the little house walls
Some on the southside, some on the north
Others to the east, a few to the west
Seems the last ones thrive the best.
-15-
The little house in the woods
Found itself up for sale
The owner died
The boys grew up
Thus ends our little house tale.
