All Aboard The Animal Cruise Poem by Clive Culverhouse

all aboard!
and the table was full
as it sailed out of the harbour
eight cows and a horse
were finishing their course
as the journey grew harder and harder

the table it tipped
and rocked on the waves
nine pigs and five dogs tried to row
the dinner was done
and so was the fun
and twelve sheep shouted "under we go! "

the table it sank
down into the sea
and everyone looked at the goat
bubble and bubble
foaming with trouble
thank heavens he packed a lifeboat
