First Time in the Country
Last week Miss Honey hired a bus
To show the Country to our class.
It seemed an awful lot of fuss
To see an awful lot of grass.
Oh please Miss Honey what are those
Huge hairy things that steam and stink?
The beasts that browse? Oh those are cows.
They give us lovely milk to drink.
Oh please Miss Honey what are those
That walk and squawk on skinny legs?
Along the fence? Oh those are hens.
They give us all our breakfast eggs.
It’s very int’resting, Miss Honey.
You’ve shown us heaps and heaps of stuff.
We think the Country’s awfully funny
And now we think we’ve had enough.
