The Crazy Farm

Once I saw a horse lay
Below the sun's ray
Eating some hay
Then I asked him to pay
But he went his way
Happy and gay!

Once I heard a cat meow
A slipper she did chew
Smelling some stew
She went to view
But she found no clue
And went away feeling blue!

Once I caught a fish swim
Singing a hymn
In a jar filled to the brim
He wanted to go to the gym
To stay slim and trim
But nobody would take him!

Once I sent a rat to the jail
In his exams he did fail
Then he asked for bail
Because he wanted to sail
Over the sea in his pail
To get back his tail!

Once I noticed a bee grumble
He was never humble
Trees he did jumble and
On branches he did stumble
All his words he did fumble
When asked about all this rumble!

Once I kicked a dog on his toe
He was playing in the snow
And fighting with his foe
I asked him to go
And join the crow
In eating the dough!

Once I stopped a donkey trot
He said he will not
And began to snot
Running all over the cot
I put him in a pot
And left him to rot!

Once I asked a pig to bathe
He also needed to shave
I asked him to behave
Oh! the looks he gave
And went into his cave
His food he could not save!

Once I attacked a hen
She ran into her pen
And gathered a group of ten
She had no fear of men
But they knew not when
I sent them back to their fen!

Once I asked a bird to sing
Then he would be a king
And also get a ring
But he just flapped his wing
Sang a ding dong ding
And flew away with zing!
