Animal Homes

Most birds I know build their nest in trees

And hives are the homes of the honeybees
A cave could be a lion’s den
While a pig can live in a wooden pen.
A silk-thread web is a spider’s home
A white ant’s hill is like a dome
A caterpillar sleeps in a leaf cocoon
Then, a pretty moth will come out soon.
An animal home can be this or that
A cardboard box or a lady’s hat
A pile of sticks or a mound of day But it’s
still home whatever you say.
