Creature Couplets

The giraffe Haughty and fond of herbivorous feasts, Tends to look down on his wee fellow beasts. The elephant Thin outer ears are gargantuan-sized, Tickling the ivories isn't advised. The pelican Genus of water-bird with a long beak, And in his throat there is food for a week. The crocodile Don't you be fooled by his sad, tearful eyes He's out to get you - it's just a disguise. The zebra Sports a moheccan style tuft on his head And he wears stripey pyjamas to bed. The panda Never one fazed by what's wrong or what's right, Tends to see everything in black and white. The kangaroo He lives 'down under'- Australia's pride With little Joey who's there for the ride. The zoo All of these creatures hang out at the zoo Feeding time heralds a hullabaloo! 04/11/18
