Over the Meadow by Hannah

Over in the meadow, In the sand in the sun, Lived an old mother toadie And her little toadie one, “Wink!” said the mother, “We Wink!” said the one, So they winked and they blinked In the sand in the sun   Over in the meadow, Where the stream runs blue, Lived an old mother fish And her little fishes two. “Swim” said the mother, “We swim!” said the two, So they swam and they leaped Where the stream runs blue.   Over in the meadow, In a hole in a tree, Lived an old mother squirrel And her little squirrels three.   “Nibble” said the mother, “We nibble!” said the three, So they nibbled and they hid In the hole in the tree.   Over in the meadow, In the reeds on the shore, Lived an old mother otter And her little otters four, “Dive!” said the mother; “We dive!”said the four, So they dived and they burrowed In the reeds on the shore.   Over in the meadow, In a snug beehive, Lived a mother honey bee And her little bees five, “Buzz!” said the mother;, “We buzz!” said the five, So they buzzed and they hummed In the snug beehive.   Over in the meadow, In a nest made of sticks, Lived a black mother crow And her little crows six. “Caw!” said the mother; “We caw!” said the six. So they cawed and they called In their nest built of sticks.   Over in the meadow, Where the grass tastes like heaven, Lived an old mother rabbit And her little rabbits seven. “Hop!” said the mother, “We hop!” said the seven, So they hopped and they bounced In the green grassy heaven/       Over in the meadow, By the old mossy gate, Lived a brown mother lizard And her little lizards eight, “Bask!” said the mother, “We bask!” said the eight, So they basked in the sun On the old mossy gate.   Over in the meadow, Where the quiet pools shine, Lived a green mother frog And her little froggies nine, “Croak!” said the mother; “We croak!” said the nine, So they croaked and they splashed Where the quiet pools shine.   Over in the meadow, In a dark little den, Lived a black mother spider, And her little spiders ten. “Spin!” said the mother; “We spin!” said the ten, So they spun lacy webs In their dark little den.7
