Poetry for Children - Rhyming Couplets?

Hi there,





I am looking for some short poems (4 lines) with rhyming couplets. I want the poems for teaching my 1st grade class about poems/rhyming couplets, so they need to be simple and suitable for 6-7 year olds.





Here is an example poem we have already used:





Snow by Alic Wilkins.





The snow fell softly all the night,


It made a blanket soft and white.


It covered houses, flowers and ground,


But did not make a single sound.





Do you know of any poems I could use? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
