Baby cats are called kittens
Baby bears are called cubs
Baby dogs are called puppies
A pigeon’s a squab!
A girl horse is a filly
A boy horse is a colt.
A possum’s a joey.
A chicken’s a poult!
A penguin’s a fledgling
A reindeer’s a fawn
A turtle is a chicken
It makes no sense at all!
An ant is an antling
A goat is a kid
A bird is a nestling,
A muskrat, a kit!
A kangaroo’s Joey
A louse is a nit.
A toad is a tadpole,
And a mink is a kit!
An eagle’s an eaglet.
An eel is a fry.
A fly is a maggot.
And a fish is a fry!
And what have we learned
From all these words today?
That if you’re a boy
Then a boy you’ll surely stay!
