Notes

Nancy Kennison wrote, "One poem I looked at [on Mama Lisa's World] was 'It's raining, It's pouring'. My family, as well as some rhyming books I had as a child, had a slightly different version. I thought I would share it with you..."

It's raining,
It's pouring.
The old man is snoring.
He bumped his head
When he went to bed
And won't get up 'till morning.

Listen

Here's the version in the mp3:

It's raining, it's pouring,
The old man is snoring.
He bumped his head
On top of the bed
And couldn't get up
In the morning.
