Father Goose, His Book

A Bee Flew Down

A bee flew down and ate an ant,
    A bug he ate the bee;
A hen then gobbled down the bug
    But failed the hawk to see.
The hawk had eaten up the hen
    Before he saw the cat
Which ate him up, but then a dog
    Ate pussy quick as scat!
A wolf now sprang upon the dog
    And ate him in a trice,
And then a lion ate the wolf
    And found him very nice.

But when the lion fell asleep
        He said, "I really can`t
Imagine why that wolf should taste
        Exactly like an ant!
