I am a duck billed platypus <br />I very seldom make a fuss. <br />Though you will find if you tread on me <br />I can react most peevishly <br />Because you’ve made me furious. <br /> <br />Wallace Wart hog was not willing <br /> unless he got the top billing. <br />Although he thought he was the best <br /> he was much worse than all the rest <br /> and never earned a single shilling. <br /> <br />Adalbert the alligator <br /> had a sister but he ate her <br />Which was not the thing to do <br />but Adalbert had downed a few <br />He was chastised by his pater. <br /> <br />Anthony the armadillo <br />was a very funny fellow. <br />his only hobby telling jokes <br /> which were not funny to most folks <br />and they rudely told him so <br /> <br />A donkey mated with a horse <br /> accidentally of course. <br />The stallion was a love lorn fool <br />Mixing breeds made me a mule <br />To be an ass would be much worse. <br /> <br />Fish can swim and birds can fly. <br />Although I sometimes wonder. <br />Flying fish can leave the sea <br />take to the air quite easily. <br />Fish are not supposed to fly <br /> <br />Chimpanzees live in the trees <br /> which they navigate with ease. <br />Searching for their favourite food <br />In a way no human could. <br />Sadly they can be very crude. <br /> <br />The killer whale is bound to fail <br />although he tries to no avail <br /> but he continues stubbornly <br /> he is convinced that one day he <br />will be a banjo playing whale.<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ogdenashical-to-amuse/
