Oh, these are good! I feel I'm in exalted, exalted company.
Said the hare to the tortoise, "Just look at me go!
I can run much, much faster than cougar, you know!"
"But you'll tapir off, won't you?" opined the reptile
And walked off to admire the bullfinch for a while.

exalted company yourself!
As a slug I lie in the wet lettuce bed,
Emvies snail with a shelter over his head.
As a sloth I lie and doze in the tree
I guess a whale dozes himself, in the sea.

Crash Bandicoot should be
In a zo, but he
Plays PS2 with a zebra,
While porcupine serves them tuna.

a zo is not a zoo, just as a BA is not a baa!
Sing ho! for the swordfish upon my plate!
And mollusk who makes a rare playmate.
The hornet is waspish. could it bee any bigger?
And a squirrel's a grabber, collector, and digger.

Hello caribou from way over there
Hello little crab from under the stairs
Hello carp under the water you go
Hello crayfish wherever you grow

The gopher hid from bloody ponces,
meerkat cast his eyes askaunces,
Lemming just jumped off a cliff,
Mole said "Wot?" and took a sniff.

Slobbered Saber-Toothed Tiger, scratching his chin
"I was cruising the Lochs," stuttered Ichthyosaur
"I saw Nessie stick her head up, most every hour

I lovethe sugar glider, it's the cutest thing out
And the potbellied pig is cute and stout.
The hedgehog, though, is overrun with fleas
And the llama makes me sneeze.

A bushbaby's eyes will make you smile
Aye-aye gives assent to stay for a while
A ring-tailed lemur has rings on his tail
The giant jumping rat makes the ladies turn pale

A cosy cat on the fluffy rug,
A faithful dog (a Peke or a Pug),
A pretty budgie so yellow and green,
A hamster completes this domestic scene.

A hare is for March, when they race all around
A coypu, I think, burrows under the ground
Flamingos are pink, and appear in a song
About pottos I know naught, but their name sounds all wrong

A python slept in the cool bamboo,
And the starlet wore a boa in blue.
A watersnake is a deadly diving buddy
And an asp can result in a demise bloody.

The kittiwake roams the northern seas
The sparrow's found lots in W3
Blackbird sings in the dead of night
Herring gull's calls evoke a flight
(I must go down to the seas again,
To the lonely sea and the sky...)

Can you winkle a winkle out of a pool?
Can you force a sea urchin to go to school?
Fred Clintstone is master of the clabbaclabby-dooooo!
And a crab is great with aioli too.

The antelope plays at Home on the Range
As do barking deer, but they sure sound strange.
Tarzan's got a chimp that bears Cheetah's name
And I once had a wild dog I just couldn't tame.

Do parrots eat carrots? Do bears eat pears?
Does a hedgehog eat hot dog, does a mare eat hares?
I used to know a pig, and he was a boar,
And a swan is mean, not worth fighting for.

A foal is first wobbly, and then it gets strong
Colts frisk in the meadow the whole day long
A filly is female, a horse or a gel,
And a yearling is about one year old, they do tell

A tick, a tock, a grandfather clock,
A warble fly is indulgent
A termly worm, a worm with a sock,
A bee, see? De E effulgent.
