Aries likes to charge and play,

she likes to do things first!

Just when you think she’s sleepy,

she has an energy burst.

She leaps into action

like the curly-horned ram,

so happy and brave

as she makes things go BAM!

…

Taurus likes to work,

but stops to smell the flowers.

Making delicious, healthy treats

is one of his superpowers.

Reliable, grounded, 

devoted, and warm,

This sweet bull welcomes

all his friends to his farm. 

…

The Gemini twins like 

to babble and chat.

They’re usually like this,

but they’re often like that.

Two babies in one,

they want to know WHY?

Their keen imagination

will take them sky-high! 

…

With big crabby claws,

Cancer baby holds tight,

and follows his heart

with all of his might.

This sensitive baby

can be shy and quiet,

then turn giggle-silly,

a tumbling laugh riot!
