Oh Hi, I Live On A Farm

Oh hi I live on a farm,
I assure you it has a lot of charm,
With three acres of weird creatures,
Each with their own unique features.

First we have the lamb fam with Lee, Bruce, Baby and Mummy,
Lee the biggest, having quite a tummy,
They’re really friendly, give em a pat,
Though don’t make em angry, they’ll charge you flat!

The furry alpaca bros Chewbacca and Pikachu,
Give them food and watch them chew,
To your surprise you’ll see they have no top teeth,
And their long fringes put their big eyes underneath.

We have crazy chickens clucking and cocking their heads,
Running as fast as a bullet, a blur of red,
They lay eggs, enough to fill a shed,
And guess what, at 7 o’clock they run to bed.

The ponies flick their tales, whipping away flies,
And for some reason, when I’m holding hay they go cockeyed,
They roll in the dirt, looks like spasms to me,
They itch their bodies, against a certain tree.

So that’s the details of my farm,
I’m glad I got to show you its charm,
And now it is dinner, what will I be eating this time?
Chicken and lamb stew with thyme.
