Ants march down the street,
Carrying crumbs for a tasty treat.
With tiny legs, they don't miss a beat,
Working together, what a feat!

Sirens blaring, here comes the ambulance,
Rushing to help with a quick advance.
With doctors and nurses, they give a chance,
To heal and make sick people dance.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away,
Red or green, they're here to stay.
Juicy and sweet, they brighten your day,
Nature's candy, come what may.

Alligators swim in the swamp with a grin,
With sharp teeth and a scaly skin.
But don't be afraid, they won't jump in,
To say hello and give you a grin.

An airplane soars through the sky so blue,
With flapping wings, it can fly so true.
Going to places you've never been to,
What an adventure, just for you!

An ax so sharp, it can chop and cut,
Wood for the fire, no need for a nut.
But be careful, it can hurt a lot,
Use it wisely, give it a thought.
