Animal Picnic

Tigers wore their best striped suits
Elephants all wore trunks,
they all went to a picnic
with the Badgers and the Skunks.

The Lion's main attraction
was his long brown hair,
and he came too, accompanied by
a Puma and a Bear.

Two Leopards and a Cheetah
were spotted coming here,
followed by a family
a Stag and several Deer.

The Crocodile takes snap shots
of everyone he sees,
from Gorillas in their fur coats
to the little Chimpanzees.

They are all having a great time
eating as much as they can,
the picnic was to celebrate
the absence of Man.
