See you later, Alligator.

Blow a kiss, Jellyfish.

See you soon, Raccoon.

Out the door, Dinosaur.

Take care, Polar Bear.

Bye, bye said the Fly.

Ernest was an elephant, a great big fellow,

Leonard was a lion, with a 6-foot tail,

George was a goat, and his beard was yellow,

And James was a very small snail.

               --A.A. Milne

 

One fat frog, sitting on a log,                                            

He wanted a friend, then along came a dog.                   

Two little friends, playing by the sea,                             

Along came a kitten, then there were three.                   

Three new friends, wanted some more,                                             

Along came a rabbit, then there were four.                     

Four friends playing, very much alive,

Along came a bird, then there were five.                         

               --Gloria T. Delamar      

 

Animals like to eat,

So do you.

Some nibble,

Some gulp,

Some chomp,

Some chew.   

 

Animal Walk

Here goes the turtle up a hill,

Creep, creep, creep.

Here goes a rabbit up a hill,

Boing, boing, boing!

Here goes the elephant up a hill.

Thud, thud, thud!

Here goes a snake up a hill,

Slither, slither, slither!

          --Kathy MacMillan

Mr. Turkey took a walk one day,                      

In the very best of weather.                              

Along came Mr. Duck                                        

And they both talked together.                        

Gobble, gobble, gobble,                                     

Quack, quack, quack,                                         

Good-bye, good-bye,                                         

And they both walked back.

 

Always be kind to animals,                               

Morning, noon and night;

For animals have feelings too,

And furthermore, they bite!

                --John Gardner,

ZOOFUL OF ANIMALS

 

The hyena is a funny bloke,

He’ll laugh at almost any joke,

So if you have a joke that’s dim,

Go and tell your joke to him.

                --Mike Thaler,

ZOOFUL OF ANIMALS

 

Here is a mole who lives underground,

Here are the ants in their underground town.

Here is a mouse in his warm little den,

Here are the worms, they number ten.

Here is a turtle, his head likes to hide.

Here are the toads sitting side by side.

All of these creatures live underground,

Look very closely or they'll never be found.

               --Lucia Kemp Henry

 

The airplane likes to go--zoom, zoom, zoom.

The drum likes to go--boom, boom, boom.

The owls like to go--whom, whom, whom.

And the rhinoceros likes to have room, room, room

Room, room, room, room.

The rhinoceros likes to have room, room, room.
