These two large teeth of his
They stick way out in front
And all you can hear are little noises
For as he�s chewing, yes�..that�s a grunt!

Now for me I�m laying really low
As among the tall grass I do hide
For I know that if he sees me
Back into the water he�ll glide.

For beavers are quite bashful
And hard workers too they say
But myself I�m really thinking
This tiny one has come out to play.

I watch him scampering all about
He�s running to and fro
Now he�s going round in circles
Trying to catch his tail�you know.

But then all of a sudden
He comes to a complete stop
Then he jumps back in the water
And I hear a resounding �Plop!�

I see another beaver head
Appearing in the river
It must�ve have been his momma
Saying �C�mon it�s time for dinner.�

So, sometime if you�re lucky
Maybe you too can say
Today I really had so much fun
As I watched a tiny beaver play.
