When I was in stage 2 at Glorich School in Accra, my English Madam taught the class a beautiful poem titled "Twenty Froggies"
She gave us these words:
Twenty froggies went to school
Down beside the rushy pool
Twenty little coats of green
Twenty vests all white and clean
Master Bullfrog brave and stern
Called the classes in their turn
Thought them how to nobly stride
Likewise how to read and write
From his seat upon the log
Showed them how to say "Ker Chok"
Also how to dodge a blow
From the sticks the bad boys throw
Twenty froggies grew up fast
Bullfrogs they became at last
Not one bounce was in a lot
Not one lesson they forgot
Polished to a high degree,
As each froggy ought to be
Now they sit on other logs
Teaching other little frogs
But i found this version on the internet also:
Twenty froggies went to school
Down beside the rushing pool ;
Twenty coats all pressed and green,
Twenty vests all white and clean.
We must be in time said they,
First we study then we play;
That is how we learn the rules,
As we froggies go to school.
Master bullfrog brave and stern
Taught us each all in our turn;
Taught us how to leap and dive,
Also how to nobly stride.
Taught us how to dodge below
From the sticks which bad boys throw.
Twenty froggies grew up fast,
Big frogs they became at last;
Polished to a high degree,
As each froggy ought to be.
Now they sit on other logs,
Teaching other little frogs.

But I must confess that I love reciting my Madam's version
What nursery poem do you remember?
