1..2..3..4..

by Elisha aged 10

Animal Competition Winner

1..2..3..4.. hear the mighty lion roar,
5..6..7..8.. hear that little rattling snake,
9..10..11..12.. see that little sneaky wolf,
13..14..15..16.. aahhh, that hyena’s being mean.

So that’s the story of the animals
I hope you liked it because
here come a stampede of elephants
aaaaAAAHHHHHHHHH.

    I think the rhyming is fine. The last verse doesn’t have to rhyme – because it’s a surprise. Line three – twelve and wolf – isn’t a perfect rhyme but it’s close. The consonants rhyme (the w sound). I’d rather have a close rhyme that makes sense than a perfect rhyme that’s not quite right. It’s a good poem.
