A Yellow-browed warbler whistled a tune
to the Palliser's warbler's flight to the moon
Who said the, "Firecrest is not with song?"
"I," said the Goldcrest for taking too long

Ichabod Crane has a nose like a carrot
And right on his shoulder there perches a parrot.
Don't monkey with Ichabod, he gets so angry,
As mad as a lioness that's terribly hungry.
The owl guards nightfall with eyes and hoots
Ocelot lords over jungle coots
The ox bears his beastly burden well
on wind swept savanahs, oryx does dwell

ox
oryx
The owl eats the snakes and mice he's caught,
so like the ocelot the owl must floss a lot.
The ox lumbers his way up the slope
much slower than oryx, the antelope.

If I could fly like an osprey
Or like reindeer do, pull a sleigh
I be as happy as stork, with babies
Not like tamarin with rabies

buffalo
caribou

A musk-ox smells of an order so strong
It keeps the buffalo in a herd of the throng
The caribou winces, "this is no fair!"
While a moose fans himself gasping for air

Siamese cat
A chicken sat down to lunch one day
With a tiny chipmunk who'd come to play;
They'd ridden their pony, so shiny and fat,
And now they were dining on Siamese cat.
I don't want to see a branded krait in my yard
Nor I hope to see a coral viper munching on lard
And a hooded cobra I do not want to see
While a boa constrictor lookspretty bad to me

With porcupine's quills stuck in the nose
Poor, poor poodle yipped "Oh, Man this blows,"
The sly little fox howled with glee
Falcon cawed, "don't you wish you were me!?"

The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse
The Altai was ridden by horseman number one
And number two rode the Andalusian.
Appaloosa shouldered Pestilence, number three
The Arabian had Death as the fourth you see.

Said one mouse to another, I like cheese
The other mouse said, yup it's the bee knees
Ginger tom piped up, well I likes the mice
Ginger tom then said, you know it's my vice

Of cats, the fluffiest is a Persian
While Siamese is a smoother version.
Bengal is a scary tiger, beware!
And Burmese gives me asthma, from the hair.

Jack Russel, an excitable chap, came to call
To woo, dandie dinmont, the fairest of them all
Bravehearted basenji challenged him to a duel
Afghan hound, betrayed them both, gave her a jewel.

A parrot sits on a pirate's shoulder,
A parakeet lives where it never gets colder.
A pheasant is pleasant especially when roast,
A peacock is king of the beautiful boast.

Purple Martin
Pelican sits on a broad-leafed sycamore tree
So the stray cat in the alley can't see;
Calico cat is searching the trash for supper,
So the purple martin can make a dash for cover.

The sleek panther went out for a stroll
Proving to Jaguar, he had a soul
Said cheetah, "it takes more than a walk"
"Like lynx said, to believe in that shlock"

The camel is fast and lives in the sand
The burro is stubborn and lives on the land,
The dromedary's hump is his best feature
A donkey's a placid overloaded creature.
