A Fox Was a Kit

A fox was a kit and a dog was once a puppy.
Don’t throw a fit, but a fish was never a guppy.
A horse was a colt.  And a hen was always a chick.
How about banana split’s scoop, could we call it a lick?

A butterfly was a caterpillar,
A green spotted frog was a polliwog.
A child was a well-loved neonate, 
Piglet was once the name of a giant hog.

Fawn instantly tells you something of his age,
Pony is not an indicator at all.
Lamb gives you a wonderful clue so sage.
Animals are delightful to me, big and small.

Thank you Pixie. I never met an animal that I did not like except a wood tick. I have no love for them.

Enjoyed the round robin of wildlife and the way you managed a banana split in the thick of it with a lick-itty lick! ;)

Thank you Bette. I love trees, animals and children the best; they uplift me and help me write poetry.

The word "murder" stopped me, as I saw this one as one for children, and that word scares me, let alone them, Timothy.
