Have You Ever?

Have you ever seen a fox learning to box

Or heard a butterfly cry?

Have you ever played rummy with a pharaoh’s mummy

Or snakes and ladders with a fly?

Have you skated on the ice with a family of mice

Or looked the Loch Ness Monster in the eye?

Have you ever heard a scarf give a hearty laugh

Or heard a bow-tie give a sigh?

Have you ever had a chat with a ginormous rat?

You haven’t? Well, neither have I!
