Character Couplets

Some of you composed some pretty nifty couplets on the animals populating the farm. If you would like to see them published, submit them here. After I moderate them for spelling, sense and rhthym, onto the blog they will go!

Remember, first names only! :)

  1. Napoleon
    A greedy pig with many bad intentions
    No one dared to stage an intervention

    Boxer
    A kindly horse that worked himself to death
    He was loyal to the farm until his last breath

  2. My name is a profession
    And work is my obsession

    Boxer (like boxing)

    Windmills, committees, ideas galore
    But apparently to Napoleon they are a bore

    Snowball

  3. Snowball: A pig that knows the truth of the matter,
    You leave the farm with your tail all tattered.

    Mollie: Pretty and prim with ribbon all round
    You need your lump sugar to sleep safe and sound


    Benjamin: Gray and cynical you don’t make fun,
    Devoted to boxer with a hundredfold, a ton

    Clover: Look at the ducklings waddling on the floor
    Save the babies forevermore

    Boxer: Strong tall lean and bold,
    Even though you’re left out in the cold.

    Napoleon: Leader of all, cows pigs and sheep,
    You push snowball down with his head in a heap.


    Moses: A flying menace of badness and lies
    You embody everything I despise

    Squealer: You can turn black into white
    Your lies come straight from the night

    Snowball: A pig that knows the truth of the matter,
    You leave the farm with your tail all tattered.

    Mollie: Pretty and prim with ribbon all round
    You need your lump sugar to sleep safe and sound

  4. Boxer

    Sadly working to his life was at end
    Hard worker, strong soul, and a wonderful friend

  5. Boxer

    Strong, Admirable, loyal and sweet
    At the end he was sold for horsemeat

    Napoleon

    Tyrant boar, ignorant leader, thief, and fake
    No one knew how many promises he would break

    Snowball

    Quick thinker and original windmill creator
    Everybody believed he was a big fat traitor

    Clover

    Matriarch, as sweet as clover, and one to care,
    She was constantly the type to always share
