Poem
This is the land known for its unique diversity You don't have to search very hard, just look around at the different exotic trees The baobab and the coconut, the eucalyptus and the almug History books have done this place an injustice, tried to sweep its uniqueness under the rug But it's truly the animals that make this land a rare place Search around the world and it becomes clear, these one-of-a-kind creatures will only be found here: The rhinoceros, a real unicorn possessing one mean horn He has a surly disposition, it's best not to get in his path He will trample you given the least provocation The gorilla, a real gentle giant, king of the jungle He has incredible strength to match his calm demeanor When passing through his domain, understand who in the tropical forest reign The giraffe, the real guardian of the realm She alerts all the other animals when there's danger Has the ability to see things afar off, it's good to have the tallest sentry standing at the helm The hippopotamus, a real river juggernaut She moves with the grace of a bowling ball ingot Has the temperament of a smoldering fire, will rain pain down on you, should you spark her ire The zebra, a real zoological rarity Has those signature black and white stripes He lets you see him in the daytime, she lets you see her in the night All of these one-of-a-kind animals can only be found in this very special place --- Africa, sweet Africa Birthplace of the human race
