Read together
Bugs, pigs, and six, a dog and ant
On a bed, a fox sleeps with a grunt
With a hat, a frog jumps and croaks
In a tent, a cat gently strokes
With ten tiny toes, a bug crawls
Pigs roll in the mud, having a ball
A dog barks, and an ant works hard
A bed is cozy, like a warm yard
A fox runs fast, as swift as can be
With a hat, it looks stylish, you'll see
A frog leaps high, with a ribbit so loud
In a tent, it finds a safe and snug shroud
And a cat with fur as soft as silk
In the tent, it takes a little cat's milk
So, this is the end of our little rhyme
Of bugs, pigs, dogs, and so much fun time!
Talk about it
