Of animals' houses <br />Two sorts are found - <br />Those which are square ones <br />And those which are round. <br /> <br />Square is a hen-house, <br />A kennel, a sty: <br />Cows have square houses <br />And so have I. <br /> <br />A snail's shell is curly, <br />A bird's nest round; <br />Rabbits have twisty burrows <br />Underground. <br /> <br />But the fish in the bowl <br />And the fish at sea - <br />Their houses are round <br />As a house can be. <br /> <br />James Reeves<br /><br />George Redgrave<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/animals-houses/
