The Animal Couplet game

I heard a loon's hysterical call
Saw a baboon bend over and bare its all.
An ode to a lark I've not seen in writing
Tho I read 'bout a bat that's notorious for biting.

The old hooty owl hooty-hoos to the
Hedgehog
And the pelican's head pops up saying
What's gnu?
I think writing poems is better than
Dead-slog
In fact it's a perfectly nice thing
To do

A camel is the **** of the desert, they say
And a fruit bat eats bananas all day.
A tiger prawn is a tasty dish
A chimp's not a shrimp nor a type of fish.

C' mon, giraffe, the clippies said
Doberman tucked up Bilko in bed
An eel is a slippery long kind of a fish
And Kiri te Kanawa's a Kiwi dish

(the first line can be understood by people from Glasgow..."Come on, get aff", said the conductors)

A cow jumped over the moon
And the horse ran away with the spoon,
Whatever the drama
I'm in love with a llama
And the ostrich punched the baboon.

"You're it," said the Koala as he scratched his chin
"You're cheating," said the Wombat, so you can't win
The Yak waited patiently then ran to hide
While the Panda found a bike to conveniently ride

"If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride"
A donkey rode Panza at Quixote's side
A mule is the issue of donkey and horse
And a pony is shorter than so high, of course

hare

The hare is a rabbit that can be uncouth,
The hound sniffs him out like a regular sleuth.
The ferret is boneless and outwits them all.
While the pigeon just coos from his perch on a stall.

lynx
lion

Ready to pounce, the panther dressed in black
Hid with the leopard, waiting to attack
They and the lynx were to settle the score
The lion, king of the jungle, no more!

Bigger fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em
And little fleas have littler fleas, and so ad infinitum.

(I like that one, couldn't resist...I may have it slightly wrong?)

The flea with one bound, sprang from the ground
And flying through the air hit a fly
Tse-tse, watch where you're going, said she
It'll bee curtains for you by and by

I saw a stick insect one day
Sitting on a dung beetle playing his way
The termite got sick eating what he should not have
And the grub ate until he giggled and laughed

A koala snuggled up in a gum
Rose the raccoon asked if she could come.
A pooch in a raincoat passed underneath
Pursued by a pony, bizarrely called Keith.

A dachshund called Kurt did not like getting hurt
So he smiled at a kitten one day
Siamese, if you please, you're not spiky like these
Fishy narwhal and marlin, okay?

So perhaps we could talk, maybe go for a walk
And I'll bring you back here around three
Little pussy, say yes, for it's my fervent guess
You would like a low woofer like me

(more of this touching tale later perhaps)

'Well,' said the greyhound, as he raced 'round the track
'Date the poor whippet, just give 'em a crack'
Our Kurt's not a lurcher, but a kind poet soul
Watch our sweet pug, or your heart will be stoleeeee!

I love to read stories about a unicorn
And a griffyn that can fly with magical horn
A pegasus is fun to read about
And a dragon;why of course, cannot do without

coyote

The coyote is wily, as he skulks round the mesa
The eider duck tasty, he could end in a pizza
The mink is all glossy, he can make you a coat
And a skate is a fish swimming under your boat

If you want to succeed, get a baboon,
And he'll stop you appearing a loon.
A raccoon is not quite such a boon,
And a spoonbill can't whistle a toon.

Hey Clazza you seem to be a birdwatching enthusiast type of person. Did you see that programme last night about the Nile with a big stork with a HUGE bill (top restaurant) eating a lungfish? Amazing creature.
I'll come back later.

Have you seen a honeyeater
Or a goldfinch on a two-seater
How about a wryneck on that tree
Or a plover over those rocks as happy as can be

equine

I prefer the term equine, in latin, if you please
For goldfish, Carassius auratus, is just a breeze
The wild goat is Capreolus or Aries, take your pick
I've found no merman latin transalation, so sorry slick!
