FIRST POEM: A Tractor by Barbara Ireson.
MEMORABLE MOMENT: Fat Old Witch by Leland B Jacobs (Words courtesy of ipernity: Weekly Readers).
MY THOUGHTS: First published in 1975 by Storychair Books this is a fun collection of some fourteen poems, many of them only a verse long, composed by various writers and illustrated by Ian West.
A vintage collection. Whilst arguably some readers may find some of the verse of its time I felt the book a delightful read that I would happily share with today's young readers.

Sounds lovely!
This sounds great for young readers.
As for some of it seeming to be a bit dated, I personally think that both younger and older people benefit from exposure to some older styles.
I believe there are some things that never become dated and this sounds delightful to me.
I'm glad you enjoyed these rhymes, Tracy! :)
Sounds cute; I'm glad you enjoyed it!
