  • Monosyllabics–a Classic Children's Poem by Laura E. Richards

    Monosyllabics–a Classic Children's Poem by Laura E. Richards
    Oct 2 2025
    This story isn't really a story. It's a poem. What makes it's both unique and fun is that every word has just one syllable.

    Why don't you read along:
    The black cat sat
    In the fat man’s hat;
    “Oh, dear!” the fat man said.
    “May the great gray bat
    Catch the bad black cat
    Who has left me no hat
    For my head!”

    The big brown bear
    Tried to curl his hair
    To go to the Fair so gay.
    But he looked such a fright
    That his aunt took flight,
    And he cried till night, they say.

    A pale pink pig,
    In a large blond wig,
    Danced a wild, wild jig
    On the lea;
    But a rude old goat,
    In a sky-blue coat,
    Said, “You’re nought but a shoat, tee hee!”

    A poor old King
    Sold his gay gold ring
    For to buy his old wife some cream;
    But the cat lapped it up
    With a sip and a sup,
    And his tears ran down in a stream.

    A large red cow
    Tried to make a bow,
    But did not know how,
    They say.
    For her legs got mixed,
    And her horns got fixed,
    And her tail would get
    In her way.

    A boy named Sam
    Had a fat pet ram,
    And gave him some jam
    For his tea;
    But the fat pet ram
    Tried to butt poor Sam,
    Till he had to turn
    And flee.

    A girl named Jane
    Had a sad, bad pain
    In the place where she wore
    Her belt;
    She mopped and she mowed,
    And she screamed aloud,
    Just to show the crowd
    How she felt.

    A sad, thin ape
    Bought some wide white tape
    To trim a new cape
    For his niece;
    But a bold buff calf,
    With a loud, rude laugh,
    Bit off one whole half
    For his geese.

    A pert, proud hen
    Laid an egg, and then
    Said “Cluck!” and “cluck!” and
    “cluck!”
    Said the cock, “Had I known
    You would take that tone,
    I would have wooed none
    But a duck!”
