Critterature: Sticks and Stones

A rhino's eyesight is really myopic, Perhaps that's what makes him so misanthropic. His hearing and reflexes, though, are sublime, He can turn on a nickel and stop on a dime. The projection that grows On the end of his nose Is not really a horn, though, As one might suppose. And when he needs scratching, There's another small hitch, His legs are too short So he can't reach the itch. He's ugly, pugnacious, Rude, and unsociable, And his manners at mealtime Are simply atrociable. And should you insult him, He'll never reveal it. His hide is so thick He prob'ly won't even feel it.
