The poem:

Limbo Lizards
by
Lynne Berry

Limbo Lizards on the loose
Limbo past the barnyard goose.
Goose honks squawk!
Lizards rock.
Waggle goose joins wiggle walk.

Lizards jive in jolly jigs,
Limbo past the barnyard pigs.
Pink pigs blink.
Lizards link.
Pig toes tap to cowbell clink.

Limbo Lizards leave the hogs,
Limbo past the barnyard dogs.
Barn pups yip!
Lizards dip.
Puppies pounce, one turns a flip.

Lizards leap from puppy heap,
Limbo past the barnyard sheep.
Baa! says lamb.
Lizards jam.
Shaggy sheep waltz with the ram.

Limbo Lizards dodge the rats,
Limbo past the barnyard cats.
Barn cats stare.
Lizards pair.
Kittens strut, tails tap the air.

Limbo Lizards steer a course,
Limbo past the barnyard horse.
Horse cries neigh!
Lizards sway.
Limbo Lizards groove away.
