Letters & Rhymes

I saw a little mouse
Who found a place to hide
Beneath a letter K
Turned over on its side.

I saw a hungry fish
With a mouth shaped like a C.
It was about to catch
A swimming letter D.

I saw a snake whose shape
Was like S's end to end.
It was wearing a big smile,
So I guess it was a friend.

I saw a funny owl
With letter O's for eyes.
Its beak was like a V,
And it really looked quite wise.

I saw a little kitten
With a tail shaped like a C.
It was having fun
Sitting on a T.

I saw a little man
Whose hair was quite a mess.
And every hair he had
Looked like the letter S.

I saw two D's turned over
To form two turtle shells.
The turtles both were walking
On legs like letter L's.

I saw a funny face
With a big L for a nose.
The mouth looked like a U,
And the eyes were made of O's.

I saw an alligator
With looks so fierce they'd trouble you.

It had short legs and little eyes
And teeth like M and W.

I saw a two-humped camel
With a big M for a back.
It was walking near
A little railroad track.

I saw a lady in a hat
Like a U turned upside down.
The hat was very tight,
And it made the lady frown.

I saw an elephant
Standing on same hay.
Its ear looked like a C,
And its trunk, a backwards J.

I saw a spotted bug
With a body made of O's.
It had long, skinny legs,
And feet with many toes.

I saw a happy clown
With a big A for a hat.
It had a funny collar,
And a nose that was quite fat.

I saw a pretty flower
With petals made of V's
It had a crooked stem
And leaves like C's and D's.

I saw a little chair
Made from the letter L.
It had letter I's for legs,
And was really made quite well.
