Hermit Crab

I watch him scurry on the sand

To find a house that's second-hand.

He crawls in someone else's shell

And stays because it fits him well.

Imagine if we did the same,

Just barged right in and staked a claim

To any empty house that fit,

Then settled down to live in it.

Decorator Hermit Crab

There was a little hermit crab

Who thought his tank was rather drab.

At first he didn’t know what to do

Then decorated with pink and blue.

Now he is no longer crabby

With his new home, he's rather happy!

A Climbing Lamb

There was a lamb that wanted to climb to the top of a ladder. On the way up the ladder, the lamb’s limbs became numb and this made it difficult to climb. Following this, the lamb’s thumb also became numb. This made it even more difficult for the lamb to climb to the top. The poor lamb began to doubt that he could climb the whole way. Luckily, the numb feeling disappeared and the determined lamb climbed the whole way.
