 * ** Freaky **
 * Meet the Grass horse lord **
 * Different to his two brothers **
 * A shell **
 * A hard shell **
 * With a soft head under his shell **
 * Protected from his enemies **


 * Moves like a storm of speed **
 * Across the paddocks **
 * With more energy **


 * But he doesn’t use it all to run **
 * He uses it to catch his food **


 * Small insects **
 * Heaps of energy **
 * From devouring his food **


 * Quietly and sneakily **
 * He moves **
 * Unlike his brothers **
 * Who clip clop clip clop **
 * Over the stones **


 * He cooperates with his brothers **
 * They need each other **
 * Working together **
 * To pull a cart **


 * The Grass horse **


 * Friend to all horses **
 * Friend to all grasshoppers ** || [[image:SAM_1543.JPG width="400" height="300"]] ||

 * HUNTING **
 * A taste of the fur in the pig’s **** mouth **
 * Ripped off the goat’s body. **
 * Saliva drips from its mouth **
 * Warm and gooey and slimy **
 * The sound of the pig **
 * squealing its head off **
 * Terrified seeing a hunter **
 * <span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #f1c232; font-family: Syncopate; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline;">Anytime **
 * At the sound of dogs barking **
 * The smell of the stench of the pig **
 * Stinky **
 * Like a mixture of cheese and rotten eggs **
 * Its hard hair sticks out **
 * With big gaps in its fur **
 * But it is gooey and dirty **
 * And slushy with hair mixed with mud **
 * With a fat head **
 * And a big jaw **
 * And a squashed nose **
 * And dirty dirty feet **
 * And a spiked up neck **
 * And a very fat body **
 * A wild wild pig **
