Woolly Bear
Woolly, woolly bear
Who feeds on the weeds,
Hurry furry chestnut,
Move at speed.
Wee hairy wobat
Warming in the sun,
On curlywurly loops
Many feet run.
By dandelion and nettle
Wriggly-squiggly crawl,
When you are touched,
Curl up in a ball.
Woolly, woolly bear,
Ginger-beer froth,
Vanish and change
Into a tiger moth.
