PROCLAIM PRACTICE
If I Ran a Zoo
Peter: By Dr. Seuss
Noah S: It's a pretty good zoo Said young Gerald McGrew And the fellow who runs it Seems proud of it, too.
But if I ran the zoo
Said young Gerald McGrew I’d make a few changes That's just what I’d do...
Samuel: The Lions and tigers
And that kinda stuff They have up here now Are not quite good enough
So I’d open each cage. I’d unlock every pen
Let the animals go
And start over again
Joshua: And somehow or other
I think I could find
Some beasts of much more
Unusual kind
Peter: A fourfooted lion’s not much of a beast
The one in my zoo will have ten feet at least
Ethan: But that's just a start
I’ll do better than that. They’ll see me next day In my zoo keepers hat
Coming into my zoo with an elephant cat
Noah M: They’ll be so surprised
All: Where do you suppose he gets things like that from?
David: I’ll catch ‘em in caves
I’ll catch ‘em in brooks
I’ll catch ‘em in crannies
I’ll catch ‘em in nooks
Joshua: I’ll catch them fat and I’ll capture them scrawny
I’ll capture a scragglefoot Mulligatawny
Elijah: When people see them they will say
All: Now by thunder
This new zoo, McGrew Zoo is really a wonder
Elijah: And people will say when they see these Bibs bounding
All: This zoo keeper, new keeper’s simply astounding
Noah S: Yes that’s what I’d do
Said young Gerald McGrew
I’d make a few changes
All: If I ran the zoo
