Lions (Joshua Morton)
Lions are as orange as the morning sun
They are as brave as men at war
Lions are as fast as cars at top speed
I think the lion in my heart helps me stand my ground
The roar of lions is as loud as thunder hitting rock
Statues of lions stand guard at castle doors
Lions are kings of the countryside.

The coopers hawk Don Sands
He sits, tall, slim, silhouetted against the evening sky.
Watching, silently watching
from his elevated woodland perch.
He flies briefly on silent wings alighting again, his tall slim form
resting, watching, ever watching.
Then he flies off into the unknown on those powerful silent wings to haunts unseen, to rest again
silently watching, watching.
In his vigil he’s certainly unaware of the debate
occupying other inhabitants about his origin and that
of all living creatures.
He rests and watches. Rests and watches
as evening advances.

Bear In There (Shel Silverstein)
There's a Polar Bear
In our Frigidaire--
He likes it 'cause it's cold in there.
With his seat in the meat
And his face in the fish
And his big hairy paws
In the buttery dish,
He's nibbling the noodles,
He's munching the rice,
He's slurping the soda,

And he lets out a roar
If you open the door.
And it gives me a scare
To know he's in there--

Pig Limerick (Arnold Lobel)
There was a sad pig with a tail
Not curly, but straight as a nail.
So he ate simply oodles
Of pretzels and noodles,
Which put a fine twist to his tail.

Hurrah! for the bravest birds of all!

They do not mind the ice and snow,
but sing a song when North winds blow.
Fire-red Cardinal; Junco gray;
The Chickadee in a white vest –
I love these winter birds the best.
Oh, peanut butter on crumbs of cake

and seeds of sunflowers by the score
I heap on their feeders outside my door
to bid them welcome, every one,
And keep them strong for the winter fun.

Cardinals, Bluejays, and Chickadees.

Duck their bill.

Seem to sink.
