A furry little caterpillar Crawled onto my knee He turned into a butterfly And landed in a tree Beside him was a humming bird Sucking pollen from a rose When down fell an inchworm That landed on my nose A little baby bunny rabbit Hopped onto my lap When I started petting him His ears began to flap I came across a rooster Sitting on a fence A sign said "you can pet him For only fifty cents" As I peeked into a sty I heard a great big thud I saw the three little piggy's Rolling in the mud I heard a chicken squawking As she was laying an egg of gold When I plucked it from her nest She pinned me in a stranglehold I looked up in the sky And I saw a lonesome goose I whistled "where are you flying to" He replied.
