Once upon a time, there was a hare so bright,
Who loved to run with all his might.
He'd race the fox and never tire,
And they'd have such fun, jumping over the mire.

There was a goat who liked to play,
With a rope in the field all day.
She'd jump and skip, dance and twirl,
And always have a smile for the world.

The ship sailed on the ocean blue,
With a duckling who was feeling true.
He paddled with his little wings,
And sang a song of many things.

A frog lived near a pond so still,
Where he would catch flies with his skill.
He'd croak and sing and have some fun,
Until the day was done.

The car drove down the road so fast,
With a bear behind the wheel at last.
He honked the horn and waved hello,
And drove with care, through the rain and snow.

So here's the end of our short rhyme,
With creatures of all shapes and kind.
Remember always to have some fun,
And love the world, everyone!
