Tables, insects, alligators too,
An igloo and an apple, what do you do?
Turtles and ants, with an ax to chop,
Iguanas and ink, that's a lot to shop!
And don't forget the tiger, so wild and bold,
All these things make a story to be told.

So come with me, on a fun rhyme ride,
We'll explore the world, with its creatures inside.
First, let's start with the table so strong,
Where we place our books and play all day long.
Next, the insects, so small and bright,
Buzzing and crawling, they take flight.

The alligator, with its sharp teeth,
Lives in the swamp, where it takes a long leap.
An igloo, made of ice and snow,
Is a cozy home, for the Eskimo.
An apple, so sweet and round,
A tasty snack, that can be found.

Turtles, they move so slow and steady,
With their hard shell, they're always ready.
Ants, they work together in a row,
Carrying food, to and fro.
An ax, to chop and cut with ease,
And an iguana, with scales and peace.

Ink, used to write or draw a picture,
Can make a story, that's so much richer.
And finally, the tiger, so fierce and bright,
Roams in the jungle, all day and night.

So these are the words, we explored today,
Each one unique, in its own special way.
Now let's remember, all these creatures we found,
And let our imagination run wild and round!
