When did the world begin?

“When did the world begin and how?”

I asked a lamb, a goat, a cow.

“What’s it all about and why?”

I asked a hog as he passed by.

“How will the whole thing end, and when?”

I asked a duck, a goose, a hen.

And I copied all the answers, too:

A quack, a honk, an oink, a moo!
