Free and Fun Friday: The Swing

I frequently take Shrade to the park and everytime he goes on the swing I recite a poem that my mom used to say to me.  It's so fun to say and I've memorized it and I want my son to memorize it soon.  It even has a rhythm just like swinging.

The Swing

by Robert Louis Stevenson

How do you like to go up in a swing,              Up in the air so blue? Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing              Ever a child can do! Up in the air and over the wall,              Till I can see so wide, River and trees and cattle and all              Over the countryside-- Till I look down on the garden green,               Down on the roof so brown-- Up in the air I go flying again,               Up in the air and down!
