Animals
Many living things make a sound,
Some of them can squeal quite loud!
I can hear-
A furry little feline, purring as it licks its paw,
A kookaburra laughing its signature caw.
A pod of blue dolphins, splashing around,
A herd of mighty elephants, their feet thump the ground!

All living things must be able to move,
Some living things can even dance a groove!
I can see-
A leap of tiny leopard cubs, playing in the breeze,
A mischief of little rodents, looking for a morsel of cheese.
A flock of rainbow lorikeets, gliding in the air,
A mother duck, tending to her baby chicks with care.

All animals we must protect and cherish,
And ensure that their species, will not perish!
