I LISTENED TO

I listened to a Billy Goat
He told me what to do
So I can't really say with much surprise
"I'm chewing on a shoe".

I listened to a monkey
And as you can plainly see
Now instead of sitting
I'm swinging from a tree.

I listened to a frog
And hopped from bank to bank
I listened to a rock
And in water, sank and sank

I listened to the class clown
It's embarrassing to mention
But during his instruction
He said nothing about detention.
