Monochrome

A band of comrades rather strange I think you will agree This oddball bunch together shared a commonality… The panda didn’t pander to the niceties of style He wore his usual coat which he had done for quite some while The zebra was a Libra with an eye for what’s in fashion She loved the skin she’s swaddled in and flaunted it with passion The badger was a cadger but he didn’t want your suit He’ll cadge your lunch but he’s content with being so hirsute The puffin felt like nuffin with his massive beaky nose But still he kept his chin up for he rather liked his clothes The magpie wouldn’t lie although he was prepared to steal His virtues might be fake but his apparel very real The Penguin was depending on a chance to show his class His haute couture was something that was absolute top brass The skunk just stunk, not all the time, but when occasion rose His looks were good but he was quite offensive to the nose The orca wasn’t happy to be so far from the sea Though he was quite a corker in his shiny livery… So when they met the parrot they tried not to put him down But one of them just had to say… “Did you come as a clown?”
