BIG RED BARN
By: Margaret Wise Brown
By the big red barn
In the great green field,
There was a pink pigWho was learning to
squeal.
There was a great big horse
And a very little horse.
And on every barnIs a weather vane of
course-A golden flying horse.
There was a big pile of hayAnd a little pile of hay, And that is where the children
play.
But in this story the children are away.
Only the animals are here today.
The sheep and the donkey,The geese and the goats,Were making funny noises Down in their throats.
An old scarecrowWas leaning on his hoe.
And a field mouse was born
In a field of corn
Cock-a-doodle-doooooo!
In the barn there was a roosterAnd a pigeon, too.
And a big white henStanding on one leg.And under the hen was a quiet
egg.
Count them. There are ten.
There was a bantam rooster
And a little bantam hen
With a big clutch of eggs
Cock-a-doodle-doo!Mooooooooo! Moo!
There was a big brown cow
And a little brown cow.
There was an old black cat,
Meow! Meow!And a tiger tomcat,Yeow! Yeow!
There was a big red dog, Bow wow!
With some little puppy dogs All round and warm.
In the big red barn.
And they all lived together
And they played all day In the grass and the hay.
When the sun went downIn the great green field,The big cow lowed,The little pig squealed
The horses stomped in the sweet warm hay,
And the little donkey gave one last bray.
The hens were sleeping on their nests.
Even the rooster took a rest.The little black bats flew awayOut of the barn at the end of the
day
And they were there all night long
Sound asleep
In the big red barn
Only the mice were left to play,
Rustling and squeaking in the hay,
While the moon sailed high
In the dark night sky.
