Poem: What do humans save?

LET US SING

What do humans save?

Ants pile food in the anthill

They eat it during the winter's chill

Moles dig long and winding tunnels

And save worms in the channels

Crocodiles are found in many countries

They store food in their pantries

Squirrels reserve food in a larder

They store a seven course meal with starter

Leopards keep their prey on a tree

And eat them when they are free

Farmers store the harvest in a granary

Soon to be packed in the cannery

What do you save?

everything that nature gave.

Note to the teacher: Sing the song with actions. Encourage children to listen and sing along with actions.
