“Animal Ways,” Friend, Mar. 1993, 30–31
Animal Ways
A mouse makes a house
In a clump of grass.
He scampers inside
Whenever you pass.
A polar bear lives
In a snowy cave,
Safe from the wind
And the icy waves.
A woodpecker finds
A tree or a pole
And busily pecks
A dark, deep hole.
Ants dig tunnels
In the ground.
The dirt makes an anthill
Tall and round.
A hollow log
May be home to a bear,
A ’possum or skunk,
A raccoon or hare.
