When the Cows Say, "Moo-oon!"

by Rick Walton

(Here's a single-spaced verse submission.)


Little cows say, "Moo-oon! Moo-oon!
We would like to go there soon."
Moo-oon! Soon!
Get them there by noon
When the cows say, "Moo-oon!


Little birds say, "Treat! Treat! Treat!
We want something good to eat!"
Treat! Eat!
Give them something sweet,
When the birds say, "Treat!"


Little mice say, "Ick! Ick! Ick!
The cheese you gave us makes us sick!"
Ick! Sick!
Take it from them quick,
When the mice say, "Ick!"


Little snakes say, "Kissss! Kissss!
Kissss us on the cheek like thissss!"
Kiss! This!
Careful not to miss
When the snakes say, "Kissss!"


Little horses say, "Nay! Nay!
You can't ride on us today!"
Nay! Today!
Turn and walk away
When the horse says, "Nay!"


Little dogs say, "Rough! Rough! Rough!
When you play with us, be tough!"
Rough! Tough!
Grab them by the scruff
When the dogs say, "Rough!"


Little cats say, "Me, M'You!
We can be good friends, we two!"
M'You, we two!
Take them fishing, do,
When the cats say, "M'You!"


Little doves say, "Coooool! Coooool!
It's too hot! The heat is cruel!"
Coooool! Cruel!
Throw them in a pool
When the doves say, "Coooool!"


Little lambs say, "Maaa! Maaa!
Mom, we want something to gnaw!"
Maaa! Gnaw!
Give them lots of straw,
When the lambs say, "Maaa!"


Little donkeys say, "Ha! Hee!
Tell a funny joke to me!"
Hee! Me!
Be funny as can be
When the donkeys say, "Hee!"


Little turkeys say, "Bubble! Bubble!
Soapless baths are too much trouble!"
Bubble! Trouble!
Get soap on the double
When the turkeys say, "Bubble!"


Little frogs say, "Rub-it! Rub-it!
How my toe hurts when I stub it!"
Rub-it! Stub-it!
Take their toe and scrub it
When the frogs say, "Rub-it!"


Little chicks say, "Sheep! Sheep! Sheep!
Let us count ourselves to sleep!"
Sheep! Sleep!
Tells the lambs to leap
When the chicks say, "Sheep!"
