What's Happening to the Animals

Author's Note:
I am in a really creative mood today so that is why you are finding that I have like ten posts today, but in this poem I am focusing on voice and making the reader SMILE. :) 

Mr. Farmer walks through the fields
And starts to find some strange things
He finds clucking cows
And horses with wings

Now Mr. Farmer is a smart man
And knows cows do not cluck
Bark goes the rooster
Moo goes the duck

Mr. Farmer walks into his house
To make sure this is not a big dream
Then the dog starts to neigh
And the pig starts to scream

Mr. Farmer takes to steps backward
To understand what he's found
What is he seeing
What are these strange  sounds
