Continents of the World by Amy Anderson

Poems

Continents of the WorldTo learn of the seven continents

Think of the letter AAnd when you are down to one

The E will save the day.There's Africa, Asia, Australia,

Antarctica, too.The oceans run between them

With their waters deep and blue.There are also two America's-

North and South you see.Now we're coming to the end ~

Europe starts with an E!By: Amy A. Anderson
