Zipporah's Five Senses
by Zipporah Mamakwa
Linda Bear, Linda Bear, what can you hear?I can hear Zipporah Skunk falling off her chair!
Zipporah Skunk, Zipporah Skunk, what can you smell?
I can smell Theresa Loon's burnt bannock!
Theresa Loon, Theresa Loon, what can you see?
I can see Edith Moose snoozing during class!
Edith Moose, Edith Moose, what can you taste?
I can taste salt in Genny Beaver's tea!
Genny Beaver, Genny Beaver, what can you feel?
I can feel Linda Bear's wild 'RROWWR' shaking the ground!
