Questions

I’ve got some questions; the truth if you please
I’d like to know – does a penguin have knees
Can a rhinoceros – if he has a twitch
Raise his back leg to get at his itch
If water gets in a bull elephant’s ear
Can he hop on one leg until it is clear
A better one yet – can he smother a sneeze
By holding his trunk between his front knees
Is a zebra a white horse with black stripes on the side
Or a black horse with white stripes – how can we decide
Can a wolf really blow or is that just a tale
Can a golf ball plug up the blowhole of a whale
Why does a road runner run – can’t he fly
Why does Wylie Coyote continuously try
What made the very first hyena laugh
It must have been one big hilarious gaffe
How does a rooster know just when to crow
How does a homing pigeon know where to go
How does a opossum think he will survive
By making us all think that he’s not alive
How can a male mantis get into the act
Knowing when finished he will be attacked
Why does a poet write things down their way
Why did you come out to hear us today
These are the questions – please give them some thought
I’d hate to believe they were all asked for naught
