personally

i prefer

1. rhymes,

2. short and simple words,

3.rhythm (such as in possible alternate unstressed and stressed syllables)

like the one i wrote yesterday for my 徒弟：

a little birdie flies in sky

sometimes low and sometimes high

when low, he picks at peach and pear

when high, he nibbles tasteless air

 

please notice alliteration in line 3

by the way, i am not sure if this is a 兒歌，because i seldom read a real 兒歌 by a native speaker, ha

'我感覺topsy.turvy語言功底也很好，他的遣詞造句精煉，邏輯思維也很強。', true, that's why we should 對他更要嚴要求， haha
