Row row row the boat
Gently down the stream
If you see a porcupine
Give him some ice cream
Row row row the boat
Speedily up the river
If you see a panda
Tell him to come hither
Row row row the boat
Slowly down the lane
If you meet a llama
Come back home again
Row row row the boat
Roughly round the bend
If you see a long snake
It might be the end
Row row row the boat
Warily up the lake
If you see a scary mouse
Go back and get that snake

What fun!
This made me smile today.
Blessings to you, Emma, at this difficult time of your life. I am glad you discovered the poetry community and are participating. Poetry does help,for sure. Take care..and write on.
but then you'll be needing a mongoose.
Thank you, Emma. This brought back so many memories of my childhood. My brother and I loved songs, and animals, and boats...

I proclaim this 'delightful.'
This could catch on mightily with the littlies. Such fun.
And we need fun to defeat the winter blues.
This is playful and robust in its spirit of pastiche. Great work.
