Here is a taster of what you can enjoy!
Just dig these crazy animals!
The Animal Barn Dance.
Bring on the music,
the animal band.
And watch all the animals
dancing around.
Here comes a dog
with a bone in his jaws.
Just watch that footwork
with his “Riverdance” paws.
Next there’s a cow
who waltzes around
with a very loud moo
as she covers the ground.
Now it’s the horse;
a hoofer supreme.
Have you ever witnessed
such a tap dance routine?
Then guess whose doing
the turkey trot.
As they strut their stuff
they enjoy it a lot.
Then on come the chickens;
clucking away
with an eight-some reel
oh what a display.
Then on trot some pigs
who triumphantly snort
with a rock n roll jive,
that is thankfully short.
Next up the goats
in their colourful coats
perform a flamenco
with a party of stoats.
And finally geese
do the tango and rumba.
Excitingly Latin,
it’s such a cool number.
So do come along
the next time they dance
You’d be foolish not to.
Please don’t miss the chance.
There are lots of conspiracy theories flying around at the moment – here’s another rather more unusual one!
The Spider.
I am but a spider,
a tiny little mite.
I may look very creepy
and I may give you a fright.
I hang around in cobwebs,
and always bide my time.
I wait for little creatures
I can easily entwine.
I love to feed on insects,
the bigger ones are best.
I gorge myself delightfully,
then have a little rest.
I also have a website
with millions of my friends.
We chat and scheme so happily
and start off many trends.
For innocent little spiders
are not quite what we seem.
For we have great big visions
and love to dream our dreams.
We really seek more power,
so we spin our little lies
to hoodwink lots of insects
especially the flies!
It’s such a tangled web we weave,
fake news and much deceit.
But we need to be so careful
and always are discreet.
So we run a little network
for we are all celebs.
Soon everyone will love us
for it’s called the world wide web!
