The Drumbeat Poem by unknown

The Drumbeat Poem

Annabelle was Peter's friend,
Peter's friend was Tom -
Tom was very steady,
Tom was very strong.

Tom began to walk
At a steady beat -
Peter hurried after him,
Tripping at Tom's feet.

Tom - Tom - Tom - Tom ...
Peter - Peter - Peter ... (You and your child say these together)

Peter quite liked Annabelle,
But Annabelle was fast -
Annabelle was hurrying,
Afraid of being last.

Peter - Peter - Peter ...
Annabelle - Annabelle - Annabelle ... (Say these together)

Annabelle's big sister
Also came along -
Annabella hoped that she
Could also join this song.

Annabelle - Annabelle - Annabelle ...
Annabella - Annabella - Annabella ... (Say these together)

Tom and Annabella
Tried to stay together -
But Annabella sped along,
Going hell for leather.

Tom - Tom -Tom - Tom ...
Annabella - Annabella - Annabella ... (Say these together)

Peter thought that Annabella
Ought to be HIS friend-
He ran along beside her
To achieve that end.

Peter - Peter - Peter ...
Annabella - Annabella - Annabella ... (Say these together)

Now that they are travelling
In a little group -
See if they can stay together
In an endless loop.

Tom - Tom - Tom ...
Peter - Peter - Peter ...
Annabelle - Annabelle - Annabelle ..
Annabella - Annabella - Annabella ...
