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 coure, 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.
