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.
