Six-Word Couplet Series Encore

THE BULL
His regular emissions
Worthy of politicians

THE ANT
To the anteater
Nothing is sweeter

THE SLOTH
Feel his chagrin
Labelled deadly sin

THE TURKEY
With justified reason
Deplores festive season

THE EEL
Mobile on belly
Recumbent in jelly

THE CAMEL
Far from pretty
Designed by committee

THE HIPPO
A chubby figure
Mouth even bigger 
 
THE RHINO
His muzzle excrescence
Prescribed for tumescence

Oh, these are hilarious, Gregory! I especially love the ant eater and the turkey. Was laughing out loud throughout. And what committee designed the camel? You are soo funny. Congrats on first place -- worthy of SUPREME place.
