How the Animals Move

The lion, he has paws with claws,
The horse, he walks on hooves,
The worm, he lies right on the ground
And wriggles when he moves!

The seal, he moves with swimming feet,
The moth, has wings like a sail,
The fly he clings; the bird he wings,
The monkey swings by his tail!

But boys and girls
With feet and hands
Can walk and run
And swim and stand!

All the material and most of the expressions are taken from a story by a six-year-old. It was put into rhythm because the children wished “the words to go like the waves.”
