Contents of the Zoo
Contents
Make
sure you visit the Children’s Zoo,
There’s such a lot that
you can do:
Stroke the yak and make him smile
Or feed your
aunt to the crocodile.
Contents
See
the children queuing gaily
For a tiger ride;
Dear old Stripey
gives then daily –
Two on top and one inside.
Contents
Don’t
waste photos on the panda,
Nothing could be duller.
They come
out black and white, you see,
However good the colour.
Contents
Giraffe,
Giraffe, Giraffe, Giraffe,
You really make me want to laugh:
You
put on haughty airs and graces
But can’t bend down to tie your
laces.
Contents
The
way to deal with a bad hippopotamus
Is bend him over and smack his
botamus,
But should you meet with good hipposes,
Tickle their
tummies and kiss their noses.
Contents
To
tell an ostrich from an emu?
Easy as can be!
Just count the
letters in their names –
Ostrich seven and emu three.
Contents
After
blood for their breakfast and blood for their tea,
These creatures
hang upside down in a tree.
That is the reason they never wear
hats,
Those cute, oh-so-lovable vampire bats.
Contents
I
advise respect for the alligator,
If you want to make friends,
it’s best to be slow.
You can always try to get pally later,
In
two or three hundred years or so.
Contents
The
leopard’s a pussy with terrible spots,
His unhealthy diet brings
out lots and lots.
(It’s also unhealthy for you or for me
If
we happen to walk underneath his tree.)
Contents
Orang-utans
are very gentle,
So the guide books say.
They hit you gently on
the head
And carry you away.
Contents
Here’s
the cuddly old rhinoceros;
His friends all call him Rhino.
If
he tramples you flat, it’s just in fun
As you and he and I know.
Contents
As
we say farewell to our dim-witted cousins,
Down in the jungle
dozens and dozens
Of animals visit a Children’s Zoo
To queue
up for rides on people like you.
And now, adieu.
