Invertebrates
To: "The Itsy Bitsy Spider"  by Tim R.(2005)
   The itsy bitsy spider was an arthropod.
    He had jointed legs which made him look quite odd.
    Eating many insects caught in webs he spun,
    Being an arachnid sounds like lots of fun .
Tommy the Clam by Tim R.  (2005)
   Tommy was a curious clam
     His friends all say he's odd.
     A few call him a bivalve,
     Some a gastropod.
     He was dumb, he had no brain
     Though his muscles were quite strong.
     Went ashore and couldn't breathe,
      And didn't last too long!
to :"Its's A Small World" by Nadia L.(2005)
  It's a world of mollusks and world of worms,
   It's a world of animals that crawl and squirm.
   No backbone they share, its time we're aware...
   It's an invertebrate world after all.

   It's a world of snails, which are gastropods.
   It's a world of squid, which are cephalopods.
   Lobsters are crustaceans, it's all a revelation...
   It's an invertebrate world after all.

    It's an arthropoda world after all,
    It's a cnidaria world after all,
    It's a porifera world after all,
    Phyla of invertebrates all!
