Two Kiddies once went out for a walk,
There was much of laughter, much of talk.
They met in the middle of the road
The funniest, jumping, hopping Toad.

A Crow on a fence was singing "Caw,"
And many more things those Kiddies saw.
A Birdie was swinging on a bough,
While a Cat beneath was saying "Meow."

A Bull Dog was lying in the sun,
He knew where his bones were, every one.
They saw a Chipmunk hide in the grass,
And a jumping Bunny Rabbit pass.

A Moo Cow scratched her ear with her hoof;
Some Puppies saw them and called "Woof, woof;"
And once in a while those Kiddies would stop
To make some Grasshoppers hop, hop, hop.

'Twas tragic, the ending of the walk,
We lower our voices when we talk,—
Some Bees had a nest built in the path—
'Tis lacking in grace to even laugh.
