Little Calf by Katrina Lybbert (This poem can be acted out at the
appropriate places.)
"Good morning, little calf," gentle mother cow
said,
"It's time to get up from your sweet hay filled bed."
Little calf jumped, stamped his feet, swished his tail,
And followed his mother past a shiny milk pail.
"It's time to get up from your sweet hay filled bed."
Little calf jumped, stamped his feet, swished his tail,
And followed his mother past a shiny milk pail.
Out into the barnyard, holding his head high,
Little calf looked up to the blue, blue sky,
Birds flying past chirped a joyful song,
Little calf smiled, and felt happy all day long.
Little calf looked up to the blue, blue sky,
Birds flying past chirped a joyful song,
Little calf smiled, and felt happy all day long.
The Purple Cow by Gelett Burgess
I never saw a purple cow,
I never hope to see one,
But I can tell you anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one!
I never hope to see one,
But I can tell you anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one!
THIS LITTLE COW (Finger or
toe rhyme)
This little cow eats grass,
This little cow eats,
This little cow drinks water,
This little cow runs away,
And this little cow does nothing, But lie down all the day.
This little cow eats grass,
This little cow eats,
This little cow drinks water,
This little cow runs away,
And this little cow does nothing, But lie down all the day.
