Sing A Song Of People

Sing a Song of People
       ( by: Lois Lenski)



Sing a song of people
walking fast or slow;
People in the city
Up and down they go.


People on the sidewalk,
people on the bus;
people passing, passing,
in back and front of us.
People on the subway
underneath the ground;
people riding taxis
round and round and round


People with their hats on,
going in the doors;
People with unbrellas
when it rains and pours.
People in tall buildings
and in stores below;
Riding elevators
up and down they go.

People walking singly,
people in a crowd;
People saying nothing,
people talking loud.
People laughing, smiling,
grumpy people too;
People who just hurry
and never look at you!


Sing a song of people
who like to come and go;
Sing of city people
you see but never know!


Sing a Song of Animals


Sing a song of animals,
Tramping fast or slow.
Animals in a tree,
climbing as they go.

Animals squeaking happily,
Animals looking proud.
Animals doing nothing,
Animals being loud.

Animals in tall houses,
And underground below.
Riding in a car,
up and down they go.

Animals with hats on,
sitting indoors.
Animals with winter woolies,
when it rains and pours.

Sing a song of animals,
who like to come and go.
Sing of little animals,
you see but never know.
