FROM ONE MOOSE.... TO TWENTY MICE.
BY: G.P. WALKER
One big brown moose beside a creek
"Where’s my jumper" he does shriek
Two tigers they begin to prowl
But all they find is an old wet towel
Three lions decide to search the jungle
But they find shirts and bits of jumble
Four elephants look below their bunks
But can’t find a jumper in their trunks
Five fish swim down the oceans depths
But all they find is a womans dress
Six monkeys look up in the trees
But find just pants with holes in knees
Seven swallows fly and search the skies
But all they find are old school ties
Eight otters check the river bank
But find just a jacket that had sank
Nine swans over ponds they flew and flew
But only find an old red shoe
Ten chickens search the farmyard floor
But find just a ring by the barnyard door
Eleven cows inspect their field
But a glove is all their search did yield
Twelve worms all look beneath the ground
But a muddy hat was all they found
Thirteen dolphins search the sea
But return with just a rusty key
Fourteen camels scour the desert sand
But a turban is all that comes to hand
Fifteen rabbits all check their burrows
But stockings are all that they can furrow
Sixteen badgers search their lair
But find just an overcoat made of hair
Seventeen sheep search in their flocks
But find just a smelly pair of socks
Eighteen zebras search the plains
But find just a skirt as they seek in vain
Nineteen koalas look in the bush
But all they find is an old hair brush
Twenty mice all squeak and squeal
The mooses jumper they did steal!
