Not really, I don't read poetry but I should as I enjoyed the poem!

This poem tells us the foods the animals don't like. Describe what you think the animals like eating.

I think that the ostriches like to eat leaves, rodents, snakes and bugs. They are omnivores. Polar bears like to eat seals and penguins. I think wombats would like to eat bugs.Rattle snakes eat rodents and piranhas eat river fish. Partridges eat seeds and berries. Leopards and cheetahs eat meat.
