At the zoo's fruit feeding time: <br />An ape ate a grape, . <br />A porcupine ate a lime, <br />A skate ate a date, <br /> <br />A ferret ate a cherry, <br />A baboon ate a prune, <br />A bear ate a pear, <br />An opossum ate a plum, <br /> <br />A wolverine ate a tangerine. <br />An armadillo ate a tamarillo, <br />A bunny rabbit ate a pomegranate, <br />A gorilla ate vanilla, <br /> <br />A pig ate a fig, <br />A newt ate a grapefruit, <br />A lynx ate quince, <br />A wombat ate a kumquat, <br /> <br />A macaw ate a pawpaw, <br />An eland ate a lemon, <br />A llama ate a guava, <br />An elephant ate a melon, <br /> <br />A tamarin ate a mandarin, <br />A puma ate a satsuma, <br />A parrot ate an apricot, <br />A piranha ate a banana, <br /> <br />Some cattle ate apples, <br />A mongoose ate mangos, <br />Some leeches ate peaches, <br />Some buffalos ate pomelos. <br /> <br />But what seemed strange <br />At the zoo's fruit feeding time: <br />No-one ate an orange <br />Since an orange didn't rhyme!<br /><br />C Richard Miles<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/zoo-fruit-feeding-time/
