FROM ONE MOOSE.... TO TWENTY MICE.
BY: G.P. WALKER
One big brown moose is on the loose
Trying to find some orange juice.
Two tigers tag onto the trail
Not far behind are three small snails
Four falcons fly up in the sky
To find the juice from way up high
Five live monkeys swing through trees
On their backs ride six wee fleas
Seven lions run with pride
Eight zebras also break their stride
Nine rabbits hop ten kangaroos jump
Over eleven camels humps
Twelve elephants have joined the hunt
To smell the juice with long grey trunks
Thirteen skunks have made a stink
Now join the race to find the drink
Fourteen turkeys have gobbled food
And join the search in a thirsty mood
Fifteen ducklings paddle the lake
Below sixteen fishs’ tails shake
Seventeen dogs all join the hunt
Eighteen cats try to get in front
Nineteen tortoise trail behind
They might be last, but they don’t mind
Twenty mice need no excuse
They got there first, and have drunk the juice!
