THE NOISY RHYME
Oh! the cock was first and he loudly crew,
And his wings he flapped: "Cock a doodle doo!"
Then the big dog barked with a "Bow-wow-wow!"
And "Moo-oo! Moo-oo!" bellowed out the cow.
And the pigs were as noisy as they could be
With their "Umph, umph, umph!" and their "Wee, wee, wee!"
While the lambkins bleated "Ma-a! Ma-a!"
And the sheep replied with a "Ba-a-a!"
Then the white geese all, with their necks stretched long
And their "S-s-s!" joined the noisy throng.
And the sleek old ducks, dressed in green and black,
Added more noise still as they called "Quack! Quack!"
