Poems for Children to Learn the Order of the New Testament Books

Daydream 1

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John

Took their trusty Acts

And tried to chop a maple down

To pay the Romans tax.

This all led to a battle,

Which the good Corinthians One,

But Two Corinthians wondered how,

While they were on the run.

Daydream 2

A, E, I , O,

But chuck away the U.

The first four vowels are useful;

Now I'll show why this is true:

There's A's in those Galatians;

E starts Ephesians right;

I fills up Philippians Which puts the end in sight;

The O's found in Colossians

Number only two.

Now closely look at letter T

Since off I threw the U:

If you please, there are five T's

That are arranged just so: Thessalonians One and Two

Start an alphabetic row;

First and Second Timothy

Next line up beside us;

Now I can end my second dream,

If I only mention Titus.

From A Pillar of Pepper by John Knapp II

Daydream 3

Philemon counted Hebrews;

What more letters will there be?

James has one and Peter two

While John has even three.

Now don't be rude to tiny Jude,

Who without hesitation,

Dreams a dream that now must end

Just like this Revelation.
