This is the animal conga-
ONE herd of zebras leading the way,
TWO wild dogs, covered in spots,
THREE monkeys who love to play,
FOUR river hogs starting to trot,
FIVE pear-white doves swoop into the day,
SIX elephants looking rather hot,
SEVEN tapirs, muddy and grey,
EIGHT baby meerkats, squished in a pot,
NINE hairy donkeys beginning to bray,
TEN tall giraffes, they don’t fret a lot,
ELEVEN rhinos, their mouths full of hay,
and TWELVE kangaroos, joeys in their pouch-cot,
THAT is the animal conga, and we all shout ‘HOORAY!’
