Animal 'Mini-Limericks'

Zebras are clever little horses with stripes They know how to discharge without having to wipe They say pigs roll in the mud so as to get clean My wife keeps trying mudpacks if you know what I mean A cow’s tail is a very effective fly-swatter Remember to first ask the butcher to slaught-her When I saw in the kitchen-sink a whale of a snail I called the Doc – Never mind our daughter looks pale “Honey, you promised to kill that June-bug, remember?” “Oh, yeah… You asked me last June, and now it’s December” Dog rhymes with hog, which in turn rhymes with frog But only one lives on a lily in a swamp called a bog My vet told me my new cat would have up to nine lives A Queen Bee snatched ‘em all when she flew out of her hive

haha, laughing at this one. Somehow, a cartoon, in which you see all 9 lives ascend from a cat in quick sequence popped into my mind.
