Friend

Friend 

 Oh why oh why doesn’t ostrich fly
The lion roared oh why oh why 
He has the feathers 
He has the wings
And all of those  other birdie things 

Along  came the monkey 
Who pretended that he knew 
And would glady tell all 
For  banana’s, a bunch or two

The lion turned quickly 
And the monkey  took flight
For he  knew  quite rightly
The lion he wouldn’t fight 

A little while later 
A giraffe sauntered by 
But the lion couldn’t hear him
Because he held  his head so high

Then along came the elephant
Who waved his might ears 
I’d really like to tell you 
But it just brings me to tears 

A short time later 
The crocodile appeared 
He said  I know the reason 
As his throat he did  clear 

A long time ago 
When Ostrich was sick
He had little friend
Who by his side did  stick

And when he did recover 
A promise he did make 
I will never fly away again
For you, I will not  forsake

So if you ever see him 
With his head down in a hole 
You’ll know that he’s just visiting with
His little friend the mole
