Poetry: Animal poems for children

Creepy Crawly Spider

People don't like me 'cause I'm crawly and creepy.
So, needless to say, I'm quite sad and weepy.
It's not my fault I was born kind of scuzzy.
I sure do wish I looked warm and fuzzy.

I know I'm not beautiful. I look a fright.
There are things about me that just don't look right.
Like I have too many legs, eight in all.
I can walk on the ceiling and not even fall!

I'd love to be just a regular kid,
And not a hairy scary leggy arachnid.
I'd like a family. I'd love some friends too.
I'd like to be your friend. How about you?

Would you be friends with me? I know
We're very different but you would see
All the fun new games we could learn and share
We could do tons of things and always play fair.

Other kids will see what good friends we make.
Maybe they'll see someone and decide to take
A chance on them, like I did with you.
And they will be lucky with a new friend too!

I sure hope that you will be my friend.

    Farmyard

    The chickens cluck,
    The cow does moo,
    The horse he neighed,
    When he saw you.

    The dog did bark,
    The cat did cry,
    The little

    "The Duck in the Truck"

    I saw a duck
    Driving a truck
    His eyes barely over the wheel
    He scared the wigs
    Off three little pigs
    Man,
