There were snails
on rails
and mice
on ice.
Dogs, hogs
and frogs
in clogs –
floundering in bogs.
Gnus
in pointed shoes
(their tootsies will bruise).
Llamas
in striped pyjamas.
Asses
with glasses.
Chimps
with limps –
such imps!
Cats, rats
and bats
in spats.
Yaks
in plastic macs –
(soaked to the bone,
all all alone,
they groan,
all trying to use the phone:
Hallo? Hallo? Ochone!)
Two fighting cocks
a stray fox
something rather like an ox.
A papoose
riding a moose
and a goose
with a screw loose.
And there with his easel
Wilfred the Weasel
painting a sun as small as a measle!
