Safety First
Safety First
1The Deer don't dine
2 When a Wolf's about,
3And the Porcupine
4 Sticks his quill-points out.
5The Minks won't tell
6 Where they hide or sleep,
7And the Lynx looks well
8 Where he means to leap.
9The Mice lie snug
10 When the Hoot Owls flit,
11And the Lightning Bug
12 Keeps his tail-light lit.
