Read together
On the farm, where the sun shines bright,
The dachshund runs with all its might,
Through fields of grass, and past the cow,
Who grazes calmly, chewing now.
The farmer works, both day and night,
Tending to each animal in sight,
Feeding the pig and goat their meals,
And checking on the hens' egg deals.
The hen house stands with nesting boxes,
Where chickens roost and lay their foxes,
And in the granary, tall and strong,
Is where the wheat waits all day long.
The geese and ducks swim in the pond,
Their feathers shining in the sun,
And with each quack and honk and cluck,
The farm is full of cheerful luck.
So come and visit this lively place,
Where animals roam and space is vast,
And with the farmer's care and love,
This farm is like a dream above.
