Poesía

Yo soy un indiecito

Orgulloso de mi raza

Uso plumas de colores

Y lanza para la caza

Remando voy en mi balsa

Para buscar alimentos

Sabrosos peces y frutas

Aves que me trae el viento

Adivinanza.

Soy una hortaliza naranja y sabrosa

En ocasiones me dibujan muy tenebrosa

La calabaza

Trabalenguas

Señora compre coco

No compro coco porque como poco

Como poco

Coco compro
