It is good being in foreign Getting to visit the city So me saw them with some somethings That they tell the children These are examples of farm animals
Me had a good laugh to meself And wish me could tell them About some farm animal me know 'bout And some me grow up with They were not some nice little docile things
First there was the old rooster That used to guard the yard We had no need of a dog For him was more vicious than any doberman
Then there was the big black boar pig Him shoulder them thick like battering ram And pigs not something to play with If you want to know why Ask one eye Sam
Well as for the ram goat You can smell him from half a mile When him stand up on his two back foot Sonny Boy found out the hard way Because he did not run
Me never did do the donkey anything Him just never like me Everytime him get the chance him run me down and try to kick or bite me So me hit him every time me get the chance
Some people say bull cow is not the proper term Well tell that to Joshua Him can show you many trees The poll head one kill Long before it kill him father
Oh yes we raise rabbits and guinea pigs togather For rats will eat the baby rabbits But any rat that dare come in the pen The guinea pigs make sure its their end May be they were the only docile ones

About this poem:
I wanted to do this Jamaican style hence the broken language. I honestly did not think what these kids were being shown was a good representation of farm animals
