I have a cat, now fancy that

he's big and furry and stripey too

chasing mice is what he likes to do

he likes a cuddle and a scratch behind his ear

he's very sweet and very dear

i love my cat he's my best mate

but gets rather grumpy when his dinner's late !!

[lashes2508]

there are lots of animal poems but not necessarily pet ones

 

the old woman who swallowed a fly

three little kittens

hey diddle diddle

oh hark hear the dogs bark

Love Your Pets

(to the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat")

Love, love

Love your pets,

Love them

Every day.

Give them food

And water, too,

Then let them

Run and play.

 

 

Rags

I have a dog his name is Rags,

He eats so much his tummy sags.

His ears flip flop and his tail wig wags,

And when he walks, he walks zig zag!

He goes flip-flop, wig-wag, zig-zag!

He goes flip-flop, wig-wag, zig-zag!

He goes flip-flop, wig-wag, zig-zag!

I love Rags and he loves me!

 

 

 

Oh where, oh where has my little dog gone?

Oh where, oh where can he be?

With his ears so short and his tail so long,

Oh where, oh where is he?

 

 

Five Little Pussy Cats

Five little pussy cats playing near the door;

One ran and hid inside

And then there were four.

Four little pussy cats underneath a tree;

One heard a dog bark

And then there were three.

Three little pussy cats thinking what to do;

One saw a little bird

And then there were two.

Two little pussy cats sitting in the sun;

One ran to catch his tail

And then there was one.

One little pussy cat looking for some fun;

He saw a butterfly--

And then there was none.

Thank you both - that's really helpful!

Inge, I specially like the 'Rags' rhyme/song - do you know if it has a [well known] tune?

[Inge]

no, was one we made up for it... sort of mulberry bush ish... meets dusty bluebells... we found a few adapted scanned quite well..

Thank you Inge - I have just looked on utube and found 'My dog Rags' by King County Library - I just love this and can't wait to teach it!
