Upon the Carousel


Round and round and up and down
Around again they go
The multicolored animals
Are racing high and low

A purple horse with yellow hooves
And mane and tail of red
Is up against a camel blue
With flowers on his head

A cow with spots of blue and pink
With orange on her snout
Watches as a green giraffe
Trots lazily about

A lion fierce with golden eyes
And copper in his hide
A tiger striped in rainbow shades
Are racing side by side

The children ride with shouts and smiles
The parents smile as well
As up and down the children ride
Upon the carousel
