Stirring Custard With Your Toes: Action Poems for Kids

Stirring Custard With Your Toes Oh No! Oh No! The chef is grumpy Her custard’s thick And very lumpy Oh No! Oh No! She’s lost her spoon It’s time for lunch It’s nearly noon Stand Up! Stand Up! Let’s stir those lumps Let whisk away Those custard bumps Let’s stir the custard With our toes Round and round The custard goes Let’s stir the custard With our chins Round and round The custard spins

Let’s stir the custard With our lips Round and round The custard whips Let’s stir the custard With our nose Round and round The custard goes Hooray! Hooray! The lumps are gone And stirring it Was so much fun The custard’s smooth The custard’s yummy It’s time to pour it In our tummy Let’s lick the bowl With one big slurp And when it’s gone Do one big burp!
