And the Fox Goes...




A cat goes meow,
A dog goes woof,
A horse goes neigh,
And the fox goes…

A sheep goes bar,
A goat goes bleat,
A cow goes moo,
A wolf goes howl,
And the fox goes…

A mouse goes squeak,
A lion goes roar,
A rat goes chatter,
A snake goes hiss,
And the fox goes…
Bark!

Creature




Over the trees,
And to a shadowy dusk place,
Were the sun never rises,
Lurks a creature,

It would stay there all day,
But if you wait till night,
When the goblins rise out of there caves,
It will gallop from its hiding place,

It is leader of the herd,
King of everything,
The herd will run with all there might,
But it catches them,
I am the black horse.

The House with a Face





Once, a house stood all alone,
In a forest,
It roamed all day and night,
But with no face it could not see,
So day and night it bumped into trees,
It toddled along,
But as it had no face it could not see,
So day and it bumped into houses,
 It walked along,
It tripped over saplings,
It tripped over knowhow,
But one day it came across a wishing tree,
It‘s wish was obvious,
To have a face you see,
But now with a face it still roams the valley,
Looking for a home to live in,
But not with trees or houses,
Not with saplings or knowhow,
It sits in a field,
All alone but one day it will find a home.
