Nursery Rhyme Lyrics, Childrens Song Words and Childrens Poem Lyrics
A nursery rhyme is a traditional song or poem taught
to children (originally in the nursery). Learning
nursery rhymes assists in the development of vocabulary
and other skills such as counting. An example of
a counting rhyme is One Two Buckle My
Shoe. Rhymes also introduce children to the
enjoyment music brings along with actions
and/or dances.
Hey Diddle Diddle is a popular nursery rhyme. Many
cultures feature children's songs that are
passed down from one generation to
the next (either from parent to child, or from older
kids to younger children). In the English language,
the term nursery rhyme often refers to those of
European origin, and the best known examples are
English and originated in or after the 17th century.
Rhyme origins were possibly a form of oral political
cartoon and come from an era when free speech could have the
speaker imprisoned. Nursery rhymes are often
violent in nature, for example, in Jack and Jill,
Jack fell down and "Broke his crown"- meaning breaking
his skull. Other nursery rhymes are
substantially older. Sing a Song
of Sixpence exists in written records going back as far
as the Middle Ages. Arguably the most famous collection
of nursery rhymes is that of Mother Goose. Some well
known nursery rhymes originated in the United States of America,
such as Mary had a
little lamb. [Reference Wikipedia

Toys are objects used in play. Toys are usually
associated with children, but it is not
unusual for adult and some pets / non-domesticated
animals to play with toys. Many items are manufactured
to serve as toys but items produced for other purposes
are also used as toys. Children may pick up a
household item and 'fly' them around pretending that it
is an air-plane, or an animal might play with a pine cone
by pushing at it, chasing it, and tossing it up in the
air. Some toys are intended primarily as collector's
items and are not played with.
The origin of toys is prehistoric. Dolls representing
infants, animals, and soldiers, along with
representations of tools used by adults are readily
found at archaeological sites. The origin of the word
"toy" is unknown, but it is believed that it was first
used in the 14th century. [Reference

Songs are relatively short musical composition for
the human voice (commonly accompanied by other musical
instruments), which generally features words / lyrics.
The words of songs are
often of a poetic, rhyming nature, although they
may be free prose or religious verse. Songs are
broadly divided into many different forms, depending on
the criteria used. One division is between art songs,
popular music songs, and folk songs. [Reference Wikipedia
