Animals That We Know

A Clerihew poem by Peyton

Around the world they all go

They live everywhere

Each and everyone of us should care

Painted Horse by Skye

But Sarah O'niel painted her horse.

She painted her horse red and blue,

then her mother came out and yelled

'what did you do!?!?'

'I colored my horse, I colored it bright!

I made it so pretty and full of delight!'

So the horse sat red,

and the horse sat blue,

as that's what horses, horses will do.

And the horse still grazed,

and the horse still ran,

as that's what horses, as horses, will do.

Star-Llinked Day by Skye and Justin

and brought it home to play

we danced and cried

side by side

until the spark of day,

and as the light pulled my friend away,

I called out,

"Come again, for another star-linked day,

before my colors fade to grey."

Turtle Turtle by Ola and Mackenzie

we never hear a little peep

every time we try to hear

you just look very sincere.

Turtle turtle, with a shell

trying to waddle up a well.

Turtle turtle, small and cute

slowly walking down the shoot.

Little Prince by Skye

he always likes to play

He never answers questions,

but asks them anyway

Little Prince who owns

a flower

Little Prince who owns

volcanoes

Little Prince who wanted

a sheep

and could speak to the

rinos

Little Prince with your

laugh which makes me smile.

Come back to the Earth someday.

Horse by Skye

a horse came by

a thoroughbred of course.

As I sat there astonished I wondered

How had he gotten to my street.

As I sat there wondering this I pondered

something new

"Can I ride you?"

As I walked through the door he ran off,

and so, I followed.

and as this mysterious horse ran away

I wondered yet again

"How had he found me?"

Cow by Skye

when you come to play

You're such a happy cow

who is always there to play.

You come each and every day

to laugh with me,

to learn with me,

to play.

You're such a happy

cow

Who just never goes away.

Rattlesnake by Skye

Hello rattlesnake,

give that tail a shake.

Hear that rattle,

it scares me like

a battle.

Good-bye ratttlesnake,

if I may ask a favor

could you,

give that tail a shake?

Turtle by Skye

Turtle, Turtle, you're my friend,

just as the cow

has been.

You are a turtle

that is always

there to play

and stays

for

days and days

and days

to stay and play.

Turtle, I hope

you will always stay.

Bailey by Skye

Bailey, Bailey how you

shine

in the days of

decline.

How you make

me happy when you

let out your shine

as I'm walking down

the line.

Just let out

your shine.
