Here are two playful, shorter versions you can use:

  1. Cheek pockets — seeds in, off to my hole!
  2. I stash seeds in my cheeks, then zoom to my hole!

Why these? A quick, kid-friendly step-by-step:

  • Kept the fun image: cheeks = pockets.
  • Shortened the action words to make it snappy — “stash” and “zoom.”
  • Cut extra words so each line is quick and playful.
