Let’s go said the crow
Not now said the cow
But when said the hen
Don’t know said the doe
Hey look said the rook
Big truck said the duck
Go peep said the sheep
Not me said the bee

We’re there said the bear
Where’s there said the hare
Who’s we said the flea
We few said the shrew
No juice said the goose
Need gas said the ass
That’s that said the bat
Look here said the deer

What’s that said the rat
It’s fuel said the mule
It’s full said the bull
Time then said the wren
What for said the boar
Think big said the pig
Drive quick said the chick
Not that said the cat

Let’s jog said the dog
Let’s sail said the quail
No boat said the goat
Let’s vote said the stoat
You wish said the fish
We’re off said the sloth
Rough ride said the ide
Rough road said the toad

Can’t see said the flea
Thick fog said the frog
Turn left said the eft
Yes Mam said the ram
Three blocks said the fox
We’re there said the mare
Quick, brake said the snake
Don’t skid said the squid

Just park said the shark
That’s odd said the cod
Messed up said the pup
Why’s that said the gnat
Wrong house said the mouse
Oh damn said the lamb
What now said the sow
Let’s think said the skink

Move on said the swan
Where to said the roo
Go back said the yak
The zoo? said the ewe
Of course said the horse
Okay said the ray
Fuel’s out said the trout
Oh **** said the buck

Actually, I did… I’m still pretty well empty headed, inspiration wise, and it was a way to get words on the ‘page’. Didn’t expect to post it but it kept nagging at me, so I offered it up for inspection. Glad you enjoyed, Ilene. Terry

I dunno about a roll. I’ve been kicking this about for a while, tweaking it now and then. Finally posted it to prove I was still alive ;-)

Thanks, GW. Didn’t write this for public consumption, but I felt it had a certain simplistic charm. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Greatness said the witness, and that's me. Fantastic rhyme scheme.
