Animal Charm

It's perfectly true, there's a blue kangaroo,
    Where an emu once flew, upside-down.
    There's even a lion, that's made of pig iron,
    While the polar bears fur's eiderdown.
    With a tiny sardine, of green plasticine,
    It's where cuckoos spring out of swiss clocks.
    Whatever it seems, they're not idle dreams,
    They're all playthings, in my little toy box.
