FUNNIEST THINGS I'VE SEEN

The dandelions are growing,
The grass is hardly showing.
This is surely been,
The wettest I've seen.

The slow worms are moving faster,
As they start to learn to swim.
The ants are using leafs to float,
It's the funniest that I've seen.

Even the spiders that I've known,
Have built boats of spiders webs.
Have left tiny holes in the bottom,
So they can paddle with their legs.

Even the birds have turned hammocks,
Into umbrellas to stop their feathers
getting wet. Which to me is a funny sight,
Which made me wonder If the wind gets up,
Will it turn their umbrellas into kites.
