Jack McDonald had a farm
But everything was far from calm.

Billy's pig had gone bananas
Chasing cows in striped pyjamas.

Spike the fish was eating hay
While Bill the duck was trying to neigh.

The donkey was crowing on top of the
house
And horses and turkeys were chasing a
mouse.

The goat delared war on the innocent
dog.
The sheep ran for refuge inside a dead
log.

What was the reason for this rowdy
scene?
The grandfather clock had chimed a
thirteen.
