Your teacher must have been from North America! I haven't heard that rhyme before, but there is an old English nursery rhyme which would be good for practising English sounds:
Dr Foster went to Gloucester
In a shower of rain
He stepped in a puddle
Right up to his middle
And never went there again
It is very old, dating from the reign of Edward I (1239-1307).
Supposedly, in this rhyme Dr. Foster is King Edward I of England. He travelled to Gloucester in the middle of a rainstorm. When he entered Gloucester his horse fell and both he and the horse ended up in the middle of a huge mud puddle. The town's people had to use planks of wood to remove both King Edward and his horse from the mud. King Edward was enraged by this misfortune and refused to return to Gloucester.

I would just like to say that you seem really nice and polite for correcting your grammar mistake! Not enough people are bothered about correct spelling on here and it really does my head in! Too much text speak for my liking!
