Party On

The date’s been set and many will attend Just the penguin will be wearing his tux A “come as you are” I did extend So expect to see antlers on the bucks In the heart of Sherwood Forest we’ll meet Guests will include many from Noah’s ark Each one I can’t wait to heartily greet The skunk will be seated with the aardvark Filet mignon is the menu of choice But heifers were threatening to boycott So a vegan dish has made them rejoice And something fishy may arrive by yacht A songbird choir will be entertaining (Can’t wait to see the tarantula dance) Trees will give shelter if it is raining Elk will surely line up, ready to prance The Lion King and the Duke of Squirrel Will receive the red carpet treatment And Miss Piggy will be our cover girl Turning heads of many a furry gent It all sounds so grand, but here’s the best part Once this party begins, there’ll be no end Animals live in harmony; they’re smart And not one other human will attend *Written July 28, 2014
