A poem for my grandaughter Grace for her birthday Grace’s Animal Poem Antelopes and elephants and parrots in a tree Butterflies and jellyfish and starfish in the sea Caterpillars munching on a juicy cabbage leaf Dinosaurs all roaring showing great big massive teeth. Eels all slippy slidy and a great big grizzly bear Fireflies and ladybirds and beetles with no hair. Goldfish shiny, trout all spotty, salmon in a lake Herring, pike and dog and catfish, even baby hake. Iguanas (that’s a hard one) lying in the sun, Jackals,they are not my favourites, they don’t have much fun. Kangaroos who stand up straight, small koala bears Lions who as kings of jungles don’t have any cares. Monkeys, swinging branch to branch and spiders catching flies Newts and frogs and tadpoles who have such big, big eyes. Orang utangs, just like monkeys but they are much bigger Pandas, staring, please don’t laugh, it’s very rude to snigger. Quail and pheasants running fast so no body can catch them Reindeer pulling Santa’s sleigh. Where to? Go on, ask ‘em Stoat and ferrets, weasels too, creeping in a ditch Tortoises who move so slow they’ll never get a stitch. Unicorns who in a race are bound to be a winner Vixens, foxes, out at night, looking for some dinner. Walruses eat lots of fish, that’s why they grow so fat Xyphesia,( that just means a swordfish) what do you think of that? Yaks with hair so very thick it breaks a strong steel comb Zebras who complete our tale, to bring us safely home. All these creatures, big and small, all made of course by God. Can you count the number? Is it even or is it odd?
