(Fourth stanza I added to poem by Charles Messina, Sponsor)
A furry little caterpillar
Crawled onto my knee
He turned into a butterfly
And landed in a tree

Beside him was a humming bird
Sucking pollen from a rose
When down fell an inchworm
That landed on my nose

A little baby bunny rabbit
Hopped onto my lap
When I started petting him
His ears began to flap 

A big fat bullfrog
Jumped on the table
I asked, "Can I help you down?"
He said, "Ribbit... I am very able!"

I came across a rooster
Sitting on a fence
A sign said "you can pet him
For only fifty cents"

As I peeked into a sty
I heard a great big thud
I saw the three little piggy's
Rolling in the mud 

I looked up in the sky
And I saw a lonesome goose
I whistled "where are you flying to"
He replied. "to visit Dr. Seuss
