MISMATCH - TRI

When I was walking in the zoo,
I saw a strange and wondrous sight.
You would have found in funny too,
Unlikely creatures in a fight.

I saw a strange and wondrous sight,
A hippo fighting with a cat. 
Hyenas really laughed at that.

You would have found it funny too.
The pair were really not well matched.
Of course the cat was soon dispatched.

Unlikely creatures in a fight.
But cats have nine lives as you know
And so he still has eight to go
