Marikate Kingston Poet Rhyme

Squawk

SQUAWK


                      A nuthatch built a twiggy nest

                      A cockatoo showed off her elegant crest

                      A bluejay stole a hummingbird's egg

                      A flamingo sleeps on just one leg

                      A seagull fought for an ocean snail

                      And Daffy Duck pulled Donald Duck's tail!
