It’s a queer cat
Is the meerkat.
It cannot purr or miaow.
And how odd-ish
That no dogfish
Knows how to bow-wow-wow.
The ladybird
Is seldom heard
To tweet, and never sings.
And that wombat’s
Too round and fat
To be a mouse with wings.
There are no ants
Like eleph ants,
None even near their size.
And guinea pigs
Aren’t mini pigs
And don’t inhabit sties
While the mongoose
Is a wrong goose.
You’ll seldom see one fly.
And bushbabies
Are hushed babies
That hardly ever cry.
