Each Peach Pear Plum
"I have a vague memory of a ball game called two-ball where you would bounce tennis balls on a wall and say this rhyme..." -Chrissy
Each Peach Pear Plum
Ball Bouncing Rhyme
Each peach pear plum,
I spy Tom Thumb,
Tom Thumb in the wood,
I spy Robin Hood,
Robin Hood in the cellar,
I spy Cinderella,
Cinderella at the table,
I spy Betty Grable.
Betty Grable is a star
S - T – A - R!
