Four-Line Animal Poems 2

The dog it comes in many shapes,

Types and colours and sizes.

And when you take them for a walk,

They’ll leave you small surprises.

~

The fish is often gold and small,

A memory of two seconds.

It swims around inside its bowl.

A memory of two seconds.

~

A hamster’s cheeks have little pouches,

They’re used for storing food.

Don’t try this for yourselves my friends,

Unless it’s chocolate pud.

~

The guinea pig’s not really a pig,

Nor are they all from Guinea.

Instead they are a bit like gerbils.

Nut rounder and less mini.

~

In writing a poem about a baboon.

There’s a thing I won’t include.

Their bottom shiny, big and red.

That would be much too rude.

~

The noise or sound a rabbit makes,

Is an answer that I seek.

They don’t moo or neigh or bark or oink.

I think that they might squeak.

~

The mouse, a rodent small and quick.

Is said to feed on cheese.

I’m sure they prefer cheddar,

To Goudas, Jacks and Bries.

~

Rats tend to get a very bad press,

It’s something I don’t find fair.

They’re smart and big and strong and quick,

Like mice with darker hair.

~

The cow it is a noble beast,

With hair as soft as silk.

And when you want to have a drink.

You squeeze them and get milk.

 ~

With wool so soft and dry and warm

Very useful is the sheep.

You can also count a flock of them.

When you want to get to sleep.

~

Goats can’t swim as well as sharks.

Nor dig as well as moles.

They don’t run fast like cheetahs do.

But they’re great at fighting trolls.

~

Horses are used in races,

They’re ridden by a jockey.

They’re also used in polo.

A kind of mounted hockey.

~

My only experience with elephants

Is on telly or in zoos.

But I know that they have big ears and trunks.

And tusks that come in twos.
