Oddities

Sea Lions are funny creatures
I think they are mammals
They have flippers for feet
Not humps like lots of camels

Wouldn't it be funny
A funny sort of weird
If a walrus had a football
And a bunny had a beard

It gets even crazier
The more I start to think
If a monkey smelt like a skunk
And a skunk looked like a skink

The Zebra gave his stripes away
Sold them to a horse
If you looked for that Zebra today
You'd find him racing around a course

I think all the animals
In forests or zoos
Should stay exactly as they are
Not be silly and try to choose

Another animal's personality
Or indeed their looks
It would cause confusion
To authors who write books
