Hybrid I Did

Those scientists, they have no clue I’m doing what they will not do I’m gonna scramble nature just for you My cat’s mixed with a chicken And it isn’t finger lickin But now my cat goes cock-a-doodle-doo I took a bold and risky leap Stirred up a kangaroo and sheep Good luck sorting that out Miss Bo Peep But when you take a sheep or two And mix them with a kangaroo You make a lovely woolly jumper too My dog’s mixed with a garden snail So now my dog can catch it’s tail The crocodile was added for a lark The postman isn’t happy ’cause my crocapoo is snappy And now his bite is far worse than his bark Rotors stuck on elephants Although there’s little evidence Seemed to be a clever thing to do You’ll need an iron brolly Which will cost a lot of lolly If an Elecopter does a massive poo The whales they are not suited To our seas that are polluted So I lassoed a giraffe with an old rope I mixed it with a great big whale So now between its head and tail The whale has got a built in periscope The lawmen just came knocking And they said my work was shocking They brought a scientist who said Tut-tut These creatures you’ve amended Simply cannot be commended So, did somebody mix you with a nut?

Thanks for the compliment, Mike. I often think it’s a shame that once a poem slips down the reverse chronological list, it very nearly disappears into oblivion. So I’m pleased that you found this poem and that you enjoyed it. Terry

Hello Terry … I’m surprised you haven’t crossed a pheasant with a duck. I can’t think of a name you would give it though - thanks Terry - Lindsay

And I don’t suppose you give a pheasuck either. Maybe in the sequel. Thanks Lindsay. Terry

I’m not sure the metre/flow is very apparent in this poem but I posted it on the off chance. Maybe I ate the wrong mushrooms! Cheers Rico. Terry
