Notes About The Poem

Aardvark Fast Facts

An Aardvark

An Aardvark

an aardvark is a curious animal
that passes himself off as a mammal
with rabbet ears and pig snout
he is unusual looking no doubt
on ants and termites, he does feed
but not so much on centipedes
he hides by day in the ground
and comes out at night to walk around
the aardvark is an odd looker for sure
but for some he holds a strange allure

I love these kind of poems, reminiscent of Ogden Nash, but better than him, methinks. Bravo, Gershon

Ogden Nash is my favorite poet. I have written several following his lead. I do appreciate your kind comments
