sing a song of people by Lois Lenski

I couldn't find a free copy of this poem ANY WHERE on the internet, but I like it a lot so here it is,


Sing a song of people

by Lois Lenski


Sing a song of people

walking fast or slow;

people in the city,

up and down they go.


People on the sidewalk,

people on the bus;

people passing, passing,

in back and front of us.

People on the subway

underneath the ground;

people riding taxis

round and round and round.


People with their hats on,

going in the doors;

people with umbrellas

when it rains and pours.

People in tall buildings

and in stores below;

riding elevators

up and down they go.


People walking singly,

people in a crowd;

people saying nothing,

people talking loud.

People laughing smiling,

grumpy people too;

people who just hurry

and never look at you!


Sing a song of people

who like to come and go;

sing of city people

you see but never know!

hope you like it!
