Carrot Cake



There's a chicken in the kitchen
It's cooking chicken soup and eating as a scoop

There's a ferret with a carrot
It's baking carrot cake and eating with a rake

There's a turtle in the myrtle
It's glazing myrtle crepe and eating on a cape

There's a cricket in the thicket
It's whisking cricket pie and eating near a sty

There's a sparrow in the barrow
It's frying sparrow egg and eating from a keg

There's a jackal with a crackle
It's grilling crackle tail and eating from a pail

There's a squirrel with a pearl
It's sewing squirrel seed and eating in a greed

There's a camel in a trammel
It's webbing camel spit and eating with a twit

There's a rabbit with a habit
It's boiling rabbit stew and eating for a crew
