A Leap of Leopards (Charles Causley)
A leap of leopards,
A sleuth of bears,
A clamour of rooks,
A husk of hares.
'Knawed that a'ready,' said Jacker.
'No you never,' said Jan.
A muster of peacocks,
A team of ducks,
A murder of crows,
A leash of bucks.
'Knawed that a'ready,' said Jacker.
'No you never,' said Jan.
A wing of plovers,
A sounder of swine,
A herd of curlews,
A drove of kine.
'Knawed that a'ready,' said Jacker.
'No you never,' said Jan.
A watch of nightingales,
A pod of seals,
A nye of pheasants,
A spring of teals.
'Knawed that a'ready,' said Jacker.
'No you never,' said Jan.
A chattering of choughs,
A bevy of quails,
A fall of woodcock,
A gam of whales.
'Knawed that a'ready,' said Jacker.
'No you never,' said Jan.
