Late Start

Bees are busy buzzing, Working happily Rabbits are still nuzzling Together 'neath a tree Brook is babbling blissfully. As it weaves along its way The Sun is arising To welcome this new day A cock is crowing loudly, It echoes around the farm A fox is behaving badly Causing the chickens' alarm A cat has spied on a mouse As it went scampering by The mouse ran into the house That made that tom cat cry Rover, the dog, chased Tom up a tree. The cat jumped into a nest, Cracking the eggs, all three The mother bird was furious, And pecked the cat on the neck, A sleepy mole He peeped out of his hole And said, "What the heck." What is going on? He questioned sleepily I'm not too fond of the sunlight, Because I cannot see. I see very well, indeed, A voice said from up high As the flapping wings Of a wise old owl Was heard as he passed by Moo, said the cow, In a mournful way Where is the farmer Is he late today? The horse said, "Neigh." He is still in bed. The Donkey brayed When will we be fed? The ducks waddled by Followed by the gander The latter is nosy The former to meander. The goings on this morning It was almost beyond belief When opening his mouth and yawning Appeared the Farmer to their relief.
