Five Fat Peas

Five fat peas in a pea pod pressed,
one grew, two grew, so did all the rest!
They grew and grew and did not stop
until one day, the pod went pop!

(sorry, don't know the author's name)

Crazy, silly, silly, silly, creative
SHORT poems for toddlers and children!

Rhymed or not is fine.

Open to all ages.

Thank you!
