A Pittsburgh Valentine Nursery Rhyme

Here is another nursery rhyme I wrote dedicated to Pittsburgh; this one has a simple Valentine's theme inspired by Pittsburgh's love for sports.  Nursery rhymes are especially helpful for children because they build awareness of sounds and language, promote pre-literacy skills, and encourage social interaction.

We love the Steelers,
We cheer them on to play,
We love the Steelers,
Hey-hey hey!

We love the Tartans,
We wish for them to win,
We love the Tartans,
Grin-grin-grin!

We love the Penguins,
We rally at the rink,
We love the Penguins,
Wink-wink-wink!

We love the Panthers,
We hope for them to score,
We love the Panthers,
Roar-roar-roar!

We love the Dukes,
We like how they compete,
We love the Dukes,
Tweet-tweet-tweet!

We love the Pirates,
We root for the home team,
We love the Pirates,
Dream-dream-dream!
