Harold and the Past Simple Irregular


The Thomson kids were all the same
Except Harold—he was distinct
They all dropped rocks in a little pond
The rocks sunk, except Harold’s, which sinked
They all put eye drops in their eyes
And they blinked, except Harold, who blunk
They all took time to think about things
And they thought, except Harold, who thunk
They all fell down and skinned their knees
And they bled, except Harold, who bleeded
The principal met with all of them
Except Harold, with whom he meeted
They all wrote lovely rhyming poems
Except Harold, who only writed
And they all bit into their sandwiches
Except Harold, who only bited
They all made paper airplanes
Their planes flew but Harold’s flied
They all were sad when their dog got lost
Harold crew while his siblings cried
And lint sometimes clung to their clothing
But on Harold's clothing it clinged
And they all sang songs in choir
Except Harold, who only singed
When they put ice cream pops in the freezer
Theirs froze while Harold's freezed
And when they had the common cold
Harold snoze while his siblings sneezed
See, Harold was the one who forgetted
While his siblings only forgot
‘Cause his siblings all conjugated
Whereas Harold conjugot
