 I'm nobody! Who are You?

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody too?
Then there's a pair of us-don't tell!
They'd banish us you know.

How dreary to be somebody!
how public, like a frog.
To tell your name livelong day
To an admiring bog!

Rain

The rain is falling all around
It falls on field and tree,
It rains on the umbrellas here,
And on the ships at sea.

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again
