Rhymes from Africa

Gather the children around a camp fire, classroom or the living room. And let them chant, sing or shout these lines.

See if you like this one:

I'm the eagle;

A hunter in the jungle.

I fish where reptiles mingle.

And snatch where chicks giggle.

My preys wriggle and jiggle.

But I cripple, and then I toggle.

I'm the eagle.

Because of my special goggles,

Life for me is not a struggle.
