I f It Was Sunlight Shining
by Jack Prelutsky


If it was sunlight shining,
I’d know that it was day,
I’d gobble down my breakfast,
then hurry out to play.

If it was sunlight shining,
I would not be indoors,
I’d race around the garden,
I’d fill the air with roars.

If it was sunlight shining,
I’d be a chimpanzee,
I’d run, I’d jump, I’d tumble,
I’d clamber up a tree.

But it is moonlight shining,
my eyes are getting red,
my head is full of cobwebs,
and I am off to bed.

The words that rhyme in the poem :
day – play
indoors – roars
chimpanzee – tree
red - bed
The repletion of the word "shining" 4 times.
