I’m A Little Teapot

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

In 1939 this charming song, “I’m a Little Teapot” was published. Written by Clarence Kelley the song was used to help students master the “Waltz Clog” tap dance routine.

Reviving this post for the WDYS Daily Prompt, which took me down memory lane all the way back to kindergarten and this endearing nursery rhyme:

I’m a little teapot
Short and stout
Here is my handle
(one hand on hip)
Here is my spout
(other arm out straight)

When I get all steamed up
Hear me shout
“Tip me over
and pour me out!”
(lean over toward spout)

I’m a clever teapot,
Yes it’s true
Here let me show you
What I can do
I can change my handle
And my spout
(switch arm positions)
Just tip me over and pour me out!
(lean over toward spout)

I hope your kindergarten self gets your dancing-and-singing on … mine did!!! 💃 🕺 🎶 🎤
