Some Thursday Poetry

"Quack!" said the billy goat,
"Oink!" said the hen.
"Miaow!" said the little chick
Running in the pen.

"Hobble-gobble!" said the dog,
"Cluck!" said the sow.
"Tu-whit-tu-whoo!" the donkey said,
"Baa!" said the cow.

"Hee-haw!" the turkey cried,
The duck began to moo.
All at once the sheep went,
"Cock-a-doodle-doo!"
"Bleat-bleat!" said the owl
When he began to speak.
"Bow-wow!" said the cock
Swimming in the creek.

"Cheep-cheep!" said the cat
As she began to fly.
"Farmer's been and laid an egg-
That's the reason why."

-Charles Causley (taken from 'Eric Carle's Animals, Animals' p.50, 51)
