A little Pig was running round the farmyard having fun
With Tweak the Dog and Nell the Cat and a Horse named Silver Sun
They raced across the pasture and they rolled down on the ground
And danced upon the hay bales with the warm sun beating down
And the Gander did the goose step as the Hens they did the hop
While Mick the bull he did the strut across the farmyard lot
And little teeny Dumpling, the Mouse came out to see
While the Kookaburra laughed out loud as he sat up in the tree
There Bruce the crazy hamster turned his wheel into a ball
And rolled out of the farmhouse to the sun to join them all
While Tinkerbell the little Lamb went jumping cross the lawn
And Scooter Boy the Silverback played tag with Kit the Fawn
And in a line conga they had danced into the night
With the evening moon above them cascading silver light
And in the dusk that covers them, they’ll hush and sleep till day
When once again the golden sun will call them out to play

Thank you for your wonderful and funny comments. I love to watch animals and have gotten to know a lot abput antics. We use to have fruit trees in our yard where we lived and had a net over our apricot tree to stop the honey suckers eating them all. The Magpies use to come in and the young one woulds use it as a trampoline. it was so funny to watch birds bouncing on it knowing they would not get hurt. By the way, the honey suckers always got theri share cause we had baskets in the trees to put fruit in for them, and a pot of honey which they loved. Thanks for reading.

This one puts a smile on my face. A wonderful write for kids of all ages. It makes me want to get out there and play with them. After all I'm just a big kid at heart.
Wonderful sweetie.

Thanks, mate. I love animals as you probably know. I like to go outside and talk to our family of Maggies that drop by every day. They make me so happy.

A great jingle I was singing in my head as I read, very good nursery rhyme. To bad more children don't get to experience life on a farm anymore.
Wonderful

Thank you. Yes, it is a shame kids don't get to experience that. I basically grew up in a home that was like a farm and I have never forgotten all the animals we had. Thanks again for the read.

Crazy but lovely
I can see that menagerie all dancing around the farmyard. Does my heart good to think that someone thinks like I do that all animals can get along together. Great kids poem too.
