Animal Stories

The ten fat mice
ate loads of rice,
with lots of spice
but then needed water with ice!

There was a snail
who lived in a green pail.
One day he got pricked by a nail
and that was the end of his tail!

Did you hear of the beautiful rat
Who sat boldly beside the cat.
Had a nice long chat
But then suddenly had her flat!

There was a silly old pig
who ate plant, tree and twig.
She loved to wear a jazzy wig
And for bones she would dig.

The lazy golden duck
Got stuck in the muck
But the kind goose turned his luck
And helped him out of it, unstuck!

The funny little red bug
Drank beer from the jug
And danced all over the mug,
Ended up giving his mom, a huge hug!

The smart silver seal
Didn't ever miss a meal
Of oranges and banana peel
And loved to balance on the wheel!

The two friends, dog and frog,
Would often go for a jog,
Chat and relax on the log,
Until they were chased by a stinky hog!

The beautiful little black fish
Would often twirl and swish.
To be a mermaid was her wish,
Alas she ended up as food in the man's dish.

The determined fawn
Worked from dusk to dawn.
Sat to sing to her friend the prawn,
Now she's sleepy and gives a big yawn!

The wonderful quail
Always delivered the mail
Be it snow or hail
As good as our email!

The white snake
Ate a white cake
Full of snow flake
and slept on the white rake!

You must know the stupid ant
Who climbed the dangerous plant.
Sat there in a prayer and chant,
Frightened she wet her long pant!

The super silly cock
Sat on the dock
To sing to the geese flock, 
but ended up being a laughing stock!

There was a goat
who had a bloat
by eating the fox on the boat
But then she couldn't float!

The wolf pack
Had a sack
Full of ducks that quack.
Not for long, when came the panther black!

The sharp and clever spider
Drank all of his cider
Before he climbed into his glider
To become the fastest rider!

There was this sloth
That loved the brown moth.
They took a vow and oath
Got married they both!!

The drunk swine
Had tons of wine
But then fell on the porcupine
To prick and break his spine!

The black and white sheep
took a long leap
Over Mars in a jeep
But on the way they fell asleep!
