Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

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.

Mystic Rose Rose February 21, 2019 at 3:02 PM Every animal gives us a message if we care to hear. Cute poem Caren. Caren Krutsinger February 21, 2019 at 9:18 PM Thank you Pixie. I never met an animal that I did not like except a wood tick. I have no love for them.

Kim Rodrigues February 21, 2019 at 11:51 AM Enjoyed the round robin of wildlife and the way you managed a banana split in the thick of it with a lick-itty lick! ;) Caren Krutsinger February 21, 2019 at 12:58 PM I love to throw in a bit of unexpected.

M. L. Kiser February 21, 2019 at 2:13 AM I love animals so you know I had to "fav" this. Luv it. Caren Krutsinger February 21, 2019 at 7:29 AM I am in my glory when I think of the animals.

Rhona Mcferran February 20, 2019 at 9:26 PM Delightful and whimsical (in other words, quintessential Caren)! Enjoyed this very much!! ;) Caren Krutsinger February 21, 2019 at 12:37 AM Thank you. I had to throw this in for fun!

Timothy Mcguire February 20, 2019 at 9:12 PM I like this one, I wonder where a Murder of Crows fits in. Caren Krutsinger February 21, 2019 at 12:38 AM The word "murder" stopped me, as I saw this one as one for children, and that word scares me, let alone them, Timothy.
