Creature Talk
A cool cat is purring with a calming sound
Another cat is stirring with a soaring bound
A game bird is singing with a cheerful chirp
Another bird is winging with a common stirp
A huge pig is grunting with an oinking voice
Another pig is fronting with a muddy choice
A fink rat is squealing with a juicy truth
Another rat is wheeling with a loyal sleuth
A fresh fish is dipping with a tiny splash
Another fish is flipping with a vital stash
A watch dog is barking with a nasty threat
Another dog is marking with a coddled pet
