The ox kept time to the music, indeed
And the ass kept singing a little off key
The lamb was the star at the party
While the turkey was a bit tardy

A hungry dog has eyes of liquid will
Like those of a wolf before a kill.
A tiger's* eyes would get small and narrow
If it went for a zebra like an arrow.

*A tiger? In Africa?

Poor platypus can't decide, mammal or duck
So ferret derides, "you just ain't got the luck"
like tree kangaroo who is shirking the muck
or lowly gerbil, saying "who gives a ****"

The boar is so boring
The warthog is warring
"So what" said the piglet
So, the warthog turned the piglet into giblets.

Well would a white-tailed prairie dog
Expect a whale to eat a hog?
Or would a white fox needlessly imperil
A harmless white-tailed antelope squirrel?

If i knew what a winkle was
It might warm my cockle.
And a mussel would open to get a peek inside
but an oyster keeps closed it's pretty pearls to hide.

Prepare the pot for the ocelot,
Put the muskrat in there while it's hot,
Add a field mouse to make you fertile
And serve on the shell of an ocean turtle.

The earwig tunnels with a mighty bite
it's nothing compared to the lucust's blight
the mosquitos's whine causes me shivers
it's nothing compared to headouses' quivers

yuck!

A friendly pigeon flew over the park
And said 'I heard a seagull bark!'
The robin replied 'Oh not again!
And that constant yapping comes from the wren.'

A tulgey wood in which a dragon prowls
Where blave-nogged gryffin nightly howls.
Milk-white, the unicorn wins top prizes
While atop the mountain, phoenix rises.

Why is the beaver prefers to sit?

The Cat sits patiently waiting, sedate.
the curlew unaware of it's fate.
The chicken knows what's in store
When he hears the cry of the great condor.

coelacanth, llama alpaca capybara

I've never seen a coelacanth swimming in the sea.
I've seen a llama chewing grass, looking right at me.
The alpaca is a wonderous sight to see
But not a capybara, it scares the hell out of me!

A ferret is stealthy, a ferret is bold,
A grizzly bear can kill I am told.
So let's hear it for the potbelly pig!
If tarantulas bite, you dance a jig.

The Wallaby said to the wobat one day,
"Hey, Wombat, come on out to play!
Let's ride a silver glider into the sky!"
So the Komodo dragon wiped a tear and said goodbye.

Harvest mouse
Little brown bat
A vampire bat wiped his criminal lips
And the whales cruised the waves in the ups and the dips,
Harvest mice run from Felix the cat
And then snuggle down with the Little Brown Bat.
