27 OVER IN THE MEADOW

Over in the meadow,
In the sand, in the sun,
Lived an old mother toad
And her little toadie one.
“Wink!” said the mother;
“I wink,” said the one.
So she winked and she blinked,
In the sand, in the sun.
Over in the meadow,
Where the stream runs blue,
Lived an old mother fish
And her little fishes two.
“Swim!” said the mother;
“We swim,” said the two.
So they swam and they leaped,
Where the stream runs blue.

Over in the meadow,
In a hole in a tree,
Lived a mother bluebird
And her little bluebirds three.
“Sing!” said the mother;
“We sing,” said the three.
So they sang and were glad,
In the hole in the tree.


Over in the meadow,
In the reeds on the shore,

Lived a mother muskrat
And her little muskrats four.
“Dive!” said the mother;
“We dive,” said the four.
So they dived and they burrowed,
In the reeds on the shore.
Over in the meadow,
In a snug beehive,
Lived a mother honeybee
And her little honeys five.
“Buzz!” said the mother;
“We buzz,” said the five.
So they buzzed and they hummed,
In the snug beehive.
