Let's Send a Rocket by Kit Patrickson
TEN, NINE, EIGHT, We're counting each second,
SEVEN, SIX, FIVE . . . And soon it will boom!
We'll send up a rocket, Get ready for . . . TWO;
And it will be LIVE . Get ready to go . . .
FIVE, FOUR, THREE . . . It's TWO--and it's--ONE!
It's ready to zoom! We're OFF! It's ZERO!
RIDDLE -- What animal do these clues describe?
Four dilly-danders,
Two lookers,
Two crookers,
And a wig-wag.
