A goose with feathers soft and bright,
Waddles around with all its might.
It honks and flaps its wings so wide,
As it takes a stroll by the river side.

A mouse with tiny feet so fleet,
Sneaks and scurries with a beat.
It hides from cats and dogs all day,
And nibbles on some cheese, hooray!

A man with feet that take him far,
Walks and runs, a shooting star.
He travels places near and far,
And visits friends, near and afar.

A group of men, a team so great,
Work together, it's never late.
They help each other, day and night,
And make the world a better sight.

A fish with fins that swim so fast,
Glides through the water, sleek and vast.
It flips and flops and leaps with glee,
And finds some food, it's plain to see.

A flock of geese that fly in V,
Soaring high, as wild and free.
They honk and quack, a symphony,
And bring delight to you and me.

A deer with legs so swift and light,
Gallops through the forest, such a sight!
It jumps and bounds with grace and might,
And disappears into the night.

A group of mice, so small and sweet,
With whiskers that twitch, from head to feet.
They play and scamper, full of glee,
And bring some joy to you and me.
