English - Grammar : How Creatures Move

We are at Lesson 129 of First Language Lessons by Jessie Wise today. The boys copied this poem. Their assignment was to identify every noun, pronoun, action verb and helping verb from the poem.

How Creatures Move
Anonymous

The lion walks on padded paws,
The squirrel leaps from limb to limb,
While flies can crawl straight up a wall,
And seals can dive and swim.
The worm, he wiggles all around,
The monkey swings by his tail,
And birds may hop upon the ground,
Or spread their wings and sail.
But boys are girls have much more fun;
They leap and dance
And walk and run.
