(A funny cactus poem for kids who love music, movement, and mischief)
The swinging And singing cactus named Spike
In a desert land, so dry and bright,
Lived a cactus named Spike, a quirky sight.
He’d sing and swing, both day and night,
Bringing joy with all his might.
With a cowboy hat and boots so fine,
Spike would dance in a perfect line.
He’d strum his spines like a guitar,
His tunes could be heard from near and far.
“Oh, I’m Spike, the cactus cool,
I sing and swing, I’m nobody’s fool!
With a wiggle here and a jiggle there,
I spread my cheer everywhere!
“The lizards laughed, the birds would cheer,
Whenever Spike’s songs they’d hear.
He’d twirl around with a happy grin,
In his desert home, he’d always win.
So if you wander through the sand,
And hear a tune that’s simply grand,
Know it’s Spike, the cactus bright,
Singing and swinging with all his might.
