Rhyme: Do Not Touch the Animals
Never pet a porcupine. Never poke a skunk. Never grab a tiger’s tooth, Or squeeze an elephant’s trunk.      

WHY NOT?
Porcupines have prickly spines. A skunk’s scent smarts and stings. Tigers’ teeth are razor sharp. Elephants remember things.

Never punch a crocodile. Never pinch a rat. Never whack a sleeping bear, Or tickle a bob-tailed cat.                             

WHY NOT?
Crocodiles have mighty tails. Rats have strong, sharp claws. Bears don’t like to wake up fast. Bob-tailed cats have wicked jaws.

Song: Six Little Ducks

Six little ducks that I once knew fat ones, skinny ones, Fair ones, too

But the one little duck with the feather on his back He led the others with a quack, quack, quack Quack, quack, quack, Quack, quack, quack. He led the others with a quack, quack, quack

Down to the river they would go Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble, To and fro

But the one little duck with the feather on his back He led the others with a quack, quack, quack Quack, quack, quack, Quack, quack, quack. He led the others with a quack, quack, quack

Back from the river they would come Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble, Ho, hum, hum

But the one little duck with the feather on his back He led the others with a quack, quack, quack Quack, quack, quack, Quack, quack, quack. He led the others with a quack, quack, quack
