FARM NOISES
I love to hear the iarm noises
And hear the geese honking.
To hear the cows lowing
As they graze
To hear the dog barking
And nipping at the cows heels.
And the quacking of the ducks
This is FARM NOISES!
The above poem was submit
ted by the mother of Cheryl Rid
ge, age 8, who is visiting the
farm home of her grandmother.
