One Little Daffodil
One little daffodil had nothing to do
Up popped another one and then there were two
Two little daffodils smiling at a bee
Another popped up and then there were three
Three little daffodils were growing by a door
Up popped another one and then there were four
Four little daffodils happy to be alive
Up popped another one and then there were five
Five little daffodils wearing golden crowns
They danced in the breeze wearing green satin gowns!
