Polar Bear

Short Poems for Kids: The Polar Bear

Click the arrow to listen.

The Polar Bear is unaware

Of cold that cuts me through:

For why? He has a coat of hair.

I wish I had one too!

The Learned Fish

Short Kids Poem: The Learned Fish

Click the arrow to listen.

This learned Fish has not sufficient brains

To go into the water when it rains.

The Lion

Short Poems: The Lion

Click the arrow to listen.

The Lion, the Lion, he dwells in the waste,

He has a big head and a very small waist;

But his shoulders are stark, and his jaws they are grim,

And a good little child will not play with him.

The Scorpion

Kids Short Poems: The Scorpion

Click the arrow to listen.

The Scorpion is as black as soot,

He dearly loves to bite;

He is a most unpleasant brute

To find in bed, at night.

The Vulture

Short Kids Poem: The Vulture

Click the arrow to listen.

The Vulture eats between his meals,

And that's the reason why

He very, very rarely feels

As well as you and I.

His eye is dull, his head is bald,

His neck is growing thinner.

Oh! what a lesson for us all

To only eat at dinner!
