CAN ANIMALS DO THIS

This is for the children, a story I tell,

Listen quietly, can animals do this.

Did you ever see a duck drive a truck,

Can a Baboon fly a rocket to the moon?

Have you ever seen a Giraffe laugh,

Did you ever watch a lion that was crying?

Do you suppose a snake would eat a piece of cake,

Does a mouse eat cheese and live in a house.

Can a frog sing to a barking dog,

Does a bird know a word, one that you’ve heard?

Can a cat laugh with a bat,

Did you ever see a moose kicking a goose?

What if a chimp could fly a blimp,

Do you think that a bear can fly through the air?

Maybe a horse can say of course, of course,

Do you think that a cow can go meow?

Have you ever seen a goat drive a boat,

What about a sheep that swims so deep.

Can animals do this, what do you think,

Off to sleep, time to dream.
