UM CÃO
Conheci um cão,
Que falava,
Que escutava,
Que cantava,
Que brincava,
Que ladrava,
Que fazia o pino,
E que era um grande dançarino.
Que jogava à bola,
Que perdia,
Que ganhava,
Que estudava,
E que andava comigo na escola.
E que tal?
Era ou não uma perfeição de cão?
Não acreditam?
Era um cão de imaginação!!!
****************************************
BARQUINHO
Corre, corre
Dança, dança
Nas ondas
Balança...
Eu vou aprender
Contigo a correr,
Contigo a dançar,
Barquinho do mar.
Barquito, amiguinho
Vai anoitecer.
Regressa cedito,
Não te vais perder...
