Shhh - What Can You Hear?
Mouse
Black Cat Silhouette

'Woof,' said the scruffy dog -
     And 'squeak,' said the mouse.
'Rattle,' said our big back door
     As the wind blew round the house.

'Oink,' said the mother pig;
     'Moo,' said the cow;
'Neigh,' called the big brown horse -
     And the cat just said: 'meow.'

'Tick tock,' said the kitchen clock.
     The baby said: 'goo goo.'
The cockerel greets us every morn
     With a 'cock-a-doodle-doo.'

'Baa,' called the woolly sheep;
     The donkey said: 'ee-aw.'
'Ring,' said the telephone,
     But Dad preferred to snore.

'Bang,' said the firework,
     'Ripple,' said the stream -
'Day dreaming again
!' said Mum 
     And woke me from my dream.
