PET PARADE
I Take...
A Snake for a slither
A Dog for a walk
A Camel for a trek
A Parrot for a talk
A Fish for a swim
A Lemur for a leap
A Shark for his dinner
A Cat for a sleep
A Duck for a waddle
A Panda for a roll
A Hippo for a dip
A Penguin to a pole
A Giraffe for a stretch
A Horse for a stroll
A Bug for a buzz
Prairie Dog to his hole
A Sloth goes nowhere, they’re too slow
I Take...
A Dolphin for a spin
A Bird on a wing
A Kangaroo for a hop
A Monkey for a swing
A Skeeter for a bite
A Slug for a slime
A Wolf for a howl
A Goat for a climb
A Skink for a slink
A Hawk for a dive
A Flea for a jump
A Bee to a hive
A Jelly for a float
A Lion for a pride
An Elephant to the yard
They’re too big to keep inside
Take a Skunk, well, anywhere
As long as it’s far away from me
You wonder what’s the point?
All this to say... we’ll see
I’m not trying to make excuses
It’s just a matter of time
My homework not yet finished
That’s why I made this rhyme
I don’t think my teacher
Will believe I’ve this many pets
My Dog ate my homework
While too often used, might be my best bet.
PET PARADE
​
is a VERY long Silly Kids Poem. For some reason I started to think about the different words that would describe taking different pets for a walk.
​
(And the best parades are long, right?)
​
But then I had to figure out why this would be a problem.
​
Hope you actually make it to the end of the poem and ENJOY it.
