Animal Verse

Dinner Guests

Few worms are regarded as good dinner guests.
They try very hard, they give it their best,
but try as they may, their forks just don't work,
and when drinking their milk, it's their habit to slurp.
Not to mention, Oh my, an occasional burp.

Dancing Buddies

Bear and Bulldog dance very well.
Who leads?  Who follows?  No one can tell.
They twist and turn and shimmy and shake.
Those two red hot dancers, they make the floor quake
while bystanders resort to a quick double take.

Morning Walk

Claude the Crane and Harry the Hawk
set out one morning for a leisurely walk.
They skipped and jumped and tumbled and ran
through sticky mud and bright white sand
then sat down for tea and a penuckle hand.
