ANIMAL QUATRAINS
BATS

The bat flies so very high
He even likes to touch the sky.
He even likes to chase my cat.
That's why I call him funny bat.

FISH

The fish swim round in a circle.
The fish look at me like a jerk.
The fish hides when I look at the fish.
The fish swim round when I am not looking at the fish.

THE CHICKEN

The chicken lays lots of eggs.
The chicken runs round and round
The chicken's name is Chicken.
And he went to the pound.

SNAKES

Snakes slither slowly in the grass
And shed once in a while.
They slash through the grass
Right in single file.

THE NEWT

The kooky newt hides in a boot.
The newt gets out of the boot.
Then it gets into a suit
And it finds another newt.

FISH

A fish swims inside a bowl
And looks out at me all day.
He looks at me like I'm a giant.
He wants to run away.

THE KITTEN

The kitten is so very funny.
She likes to play with funny money.
That's why we call her funny cat.
She acts just like a flying bat.

DINGO

A dingo is a dangerous dog.
It is very creepy.
It runs around in the desert all day
And when the day is done it is very sleepy.

TURTLES

Turtles are so very slow.
They like to swim in a bowl.
They like to eat seaweed
And they like to play with coal.

THE ELEPHANT

The elephant has a very big trunk.
It likes to have a bath.
When it gets in the mud it rolls around
And then runs down the path.

CHEETAH

A cheetah is a daring cat
That loves to run around,
And going through the hot hot sun
It hardly makes a sound.
