Hi Hey Ho


Connor Constrictor 
crept through the carpet.
Marianne Marmot 
marched through the market
singing, “Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”
Boys and girls join in singing,
“Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”
 
Tutu Toucan 
turned to and fro
while Wally Walrus 
watched in slow mo.
Singing, “Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”
Boys and girls join in singing,
“Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”

Kami Chameleon 
chewed a crumpet
and Tommy Tortoise 
tuned up his trumpet
playing, “Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”
Boys and girls join in singing,
“Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”

All the animals
clamored for more,
more of the funny
musical score
singing, “Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”
Boys and girls join in singing, 
“Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”

Fun one elle! If this is was in a kid's book, you could read it and then ask the kids to come up with their own animals.

I can see this poem in a children's book of poems. It is a good way to discover different animals. I like the words and the song that I can envision.

LOL. Hello my friend. I hope you duck was palatable, If so, please send to me in Texas, PS: I'm not fond of duck in any form...a bit tough and oily to me. :)
