A Poem about eggsEggsLots of animals come from eggs

Some with fins

And some with legs

Some that chatter

And some that cheep

Some that fly

And some that creep

Some that slither

And some that run

Some with feathers

And some with none.

Animal eggs can be quite small

Or just as big as a soccer ball 13
