The seal, he moves with swimming feet,
The moth, has wings like a sail,
The fly he clings; the bird he wings,
The monkey swings by his tail!
But boys and girls
With feet and hands
Can walk and run
And swim and stand!
THE SEA-GULL
All the material and most of the expressions are taken from a story by a six-year-old. It was put into rhythm because the children wished “the words to go like the waves.”
THE SEA-GULL
Feel the waves go rocking, rocking,
Feel them roll and roll and roll.
On the top there sits a sea-gull
And he’s rocking with the waves.
Now ’tis evening and he’s weary
So he’s resting on the waves.
