- Listen to the poem as your teacher reads it.
Some people
Some people like coffee. Others like tea.
Animals aren't as fussy or so it seems to me.
They each seem to fancy a special kind of diet.
I'm not crazy about most of them, but why don't you try it?
Grasshoppers can be quite delicious, I've heard,
That is, if you're a frog, scaly reptile or bird.
There's many a bird that'd really fancy ‘em,
Unless of course they're vegetarian
Grasses of all sorts and leaves of all kinds,
Are enough to send some animals out of their minds.
Giraffes and buffalo, gorillas and buck,
Get rumbling tummies at the sight of the stuff.
I've known many an animal be partial to lice,
And while you and I won't think that nice.
Just watch the monkeys and chimpanzees,
Why, to them they're almost as good as the fleas.
Now we may all be gagging and clutching our throats,
But a whale can't imagine anything worse than a coke!
It's quite a healthy thing you see,
To have some people prefer coffee while others like tea.
