Animal Cracker Soup

Animal cracker soup Full of sugar and goop Served it to my playgroup When one kid let out a whoop The animals had started to grow They'd filled the insides of each bowl In a flash, all the bowls overflowed Then that same kid said, "Watch out below!" On the floor were a bear and a lion Which really set my playgroup to crying In a voice deep and low, the bear growled "Hello" The kids raced out the door; they were flying My own feet seemed glued to the ground 'Till that lion let loose quite a sound Next thing I know -- all my kids on my bed Peals of laughter and smiles all around

A bear and a lion. This reminds me of Shirley Temple and Judy Garland! Beautifully done! Lion, and Tigers, and Bears, oh, my! Animal Crackers in my Soup! My childhood!
