There are lions and roaring tigers, <br />and enormous camels and things, <br />There are biffalo-buffalo-bisons, <br />and a great big bear with wings. <br />There's a sort of a tiny potamus, <br />and a tiny nosserus too - <br />But I gave buns to the elephant <br />when I went down to the Zoo! <br /> <br /> There are badgers and bidgers and bodgers, <br />and a Super-in-tendent's House, <br />There are masses of goats, and a Polar, <br />and different kinds of mouse, <br />And I think there's a sort of a something <br />which is called a wallaboo - <br />But I gave buns to the elephant <br />when I went down to the Zoo! <br /> <br />If you try to talk to the bison, <br />he never quite understands; <br />You can't shake hands with a mingo - <br />he doesn't like shaking hands. <br />And lions and roaring tigers <br />hate saying, "How do you do?" - <br />But I give buns to the elephant <br />when I go down to the Zoo!<br /><br />Alan Alexander Milne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/at-the-zoo/
