Baby Goats
Within minutes of being born they walk around
Bleat, Bleat, Bleat are baby goat sounds
Baby goats are fun to watch as they play
When they jump on and off the bales of hay
They also like to run and leap for fun
When outside in the fresh air and sun
Baby goats are called kids for awhile
To watch the baby goats at play will make you smile
Dalmatian Dog
I had a dog with many, many spots
His spots looked like little black dots
I tried to count them all one day
He would not sit still, and wanted to play
He liked to chase the yellow tennis balls
My Dalmatian was two feet tall
This breed a favorite of mine
With happy memories from another time
Horses
Horses a great pleasure to ride
Especially on a nice day outside
Horses like to eat grass and hay
Watch the horses in the pasture at play
Horses love to run around free
They are such beautiful creatures to see
Horses enjoy delicious treats
Fresh carrots and large apples to eat
Ice Cream
I like to eat ice cream on a hot, hot day
You need to eat it fast before it melts away
Ice cream, ice cream brings a smile to one and all
Doesn’t matter what size you are short or tall
Any flavor on a cone or in a dish
Ice cream added to a milkshake is delish
Ice cream is a universal treat, can’t be beat
In the very hot dog days of summer’s heat
Lollipops
Lollipops, lollipops a fond memory you see
A twice a week special treat for me
With unique flavors and colors galore
I could buy at the town grocery store
Many flavors and colors on display
Which lollipops to pick out today
The memories of those times oh so good
Lollipops a favorite of my entire childhood
Root beer floats
Memories of root beer floats in my mind
Remind me of a long, long-ago time
Making the root beer floats was fun to do
A tall glass and long spoon will only do
Scoops of ice cream and root beer in the glass
Eat the ice cream and drink the root beer last
Homemade root beer floats are a nice cold treat
A great way to beat the hot Summer heat
