The publisher has included poems that were frequently requested by readers of the Normal Instructor Primary Plans publication. For example, “How Many Seconds in a Minute?” by Christina G. Rossetti:
How many seconds in a minute? How many weeks in a month?
Sixty, and no more in it. Four, as the swift moon runn’th.
How many minutes in an hour? How many months in a year?
Sixty for sun and shower. Twelve, the almanack makes clear.
How many hours in a day? How many years in an age?
Twenty-four for work and play. One hundred, says the sage.
How many days in a week? How many ages in time?
Seven both to hear and speak. No one knows the rhyme.
